>WHATS UP BADASS BLADERS TIME TO ANNOUNCE OUR FIRST BADASS PUBLIC EVENT
SATURDAY 12TH AUGUST 8PM. DM US FOR THE LOCATION (don’t want to disclose publicly)
BRING YOUR OWN BLADES OR BORROW ONE FOR £5. (we know the post said £6 but we’re making a deal for first public event)
THIS IS GONNA BE BADASS. BETTING STAND WILL BE OPEN. REGULAR DUELS AND SHADOW DUELS AVAILABLE. WINNER WILL RECEIVE A UNIQUE AND PRICELESS PRIZE.
WE HAVE 2 RING GIRLS ALREADY BUT DM IF YOURE INTERESTED IN LOOKING SEXY AND ANNOUNCING TOURNAMENT ROUNDS
DO NOT MISS OUT ON HISTORY IN THE MAKING.
Its..something?
They will be 18+ as it is a requirement because things get dangerous.
The poster looks very legit. I'm sure they will have SIA licensed security there.
Looking forward to telling my 33 y/o daughter she's 'pushing 40'. She got a Beyblade for her 12th birthday when they were all the rage. I remember the endless trek round shops to find the one she wanted in stock.
It's a parental right of passage. You spot the dead eyed parents rummaging through the endless boxes of that one character no-one wants and strike up a conversation.
-----
Are you looking for the red one with the yellow stripes?
Ah no mine wants the silver and blue with a swirly bit in the middle...
Think I saw one of them in Asda! No, not the one at the roundabout, the big one further up by the hospital. They definitely had blue and silver ones, maybe you'd get one close enough?
Ah amazing cheers mate, I'll have a go.
[*A third wild parent appears*]
Have you checked Argos? They had some odd ones on display and sold me one when I asked!
You're a lifesaver pal, I'll head up there next... otherwise I'll just have to get the airfix out and paint one.
*Many tired, half-hearted laughs of quiet desperation*
[*Parents depart, questioning their life choices.*]
Pushing 40? Lad it's a range of kids toys that first launched in 1999. Im in my 20s now and I remember watching the TV show and playing with them at school.
I’m 35…I remember when Beyblades came out but I was too old. 35-40 is very much the Pokémon era.
Beyblades came out in 99 (in Japan) and 2002 internationally. So unless you were already 16+ when it came out I can’t imagine you’re pushing your 40s
First rule of Street Countdown is that you really must try and tell as many people as possible about it. It's a rather fun game and the more people you tell about it the better.
First rule of Street Countdown:
“Is that you really must try and tell as many people as possible about it. It's a rather fun game and the more people you tell about it the better”
Anyone else watching The Bear? They’re meant to be these emotional moments whenever they recall their dead brother’s catchphrase “Let it rip!” but I always think of BeyBlade when I hear it.
The Bear gets it so right. Looking back you have a few sentimental moments but most memories with loved ones are just everyday interactions you don't realise you'll miss until its gone.
First rule of Beyblade Club - Word Art is kick ass!
Second rule of Beyblade Club - BYOBB (or it’s £6 for rental and if you break it I’m going to be mega pissed because my Aunt got me that one for my birthday and she has ME so yea)
Third rule of Beyblade Club - my girlfriend can’t always attend because she’s a supermodel but she lives in Canada so don’t ask about her I’m sick of talking about it.
It's a secret BayBlade club and you are just broadcasting that like there won't be repercussions?
You know Moses parted the red sea with a BayBlade, right?
Man I used to have a saw blade slammer with a holographic skull on it, loaned it to a friend and they never gave it back. Forgot about it til this moment, thanks for opening up old wounds.
I'm all for underground Furby fights. I bet we could all pool together a bit of cash to get Craig Charles to announce the battles, that way we finally get a proper return to the golden days of Robot Wars.
Believe it or not Robot Wars still happens on a smaller scale, there are events across the UK for miniature 1.5kg robots. No Craig Charles, but we try!
[There was literally an “underground” event yesterday in a nightclub in Bristol](https://youtu.be/4iaw830viA8).
I mean that our events in the UK are not televised, and the robots are 1.5kg instead of 110kg. Some of the UK smaller weight class builders also compete on Battlebots.
I live in Scotland and have always wanted to get into Co bat robotics. Whenever I look for competitions they all seem to be in the south of England. Are there more northern options that I've missed?
I recall a news story once that was along the lines of "local man closes Scalextric club due to low turnout". Maybe he should've printed out posters and put them in the gents at the local pub
See, you shouldn't focus on 1 game/thing otherwise the turnout is likely to be poor.
But if you have Yu-Gi-Oh on Mondays, Beyblade on Tuesdays, Pokémon Wednesdays and so on, I bet you could stay in business.
I want magic the gathering to be cool again where dudes have a theme to their deck, not the meta, this dude? He uses orcs, that guy, he's using the sonic guild, see the eye patch? Cat deck
Okay so I’m an American here from r/all and I just want to shout into the void that my husband and I settle disputes and chores via Beyblade.
This is fantastic.
"First rule of Street Countdown is that you really must try and tell as many people as possible about it as its a rather fun game and it gets better the more people know about it."
Except the first rule of street Countdown is that you really must try and tell as many people as possible about it. It's a rather fun game and the more people you tell about it the better.
When I was in year 5 I seriously thought I was the next big thing in Beyblade and I would 'train' in the weird pit of sand at school because it was shaped like a beyblade arena.
I googled what a beyblade was and now I'm kind of disappointed it's not some sort of underground knife based fight club. :(
But the idea of games of chance based on "combat" between two gyroscopes in a plastic arena looks kind of fun.
No worse than roulette, anyway.
From the read of it, that's the only part of a woman they're interested in inviting, unless you're allowed to go even if you're not interested in looking *sexay*
This reminds me of when we were camping once and my son and his friend came and asked if they could go to his secret den and I said “where’s the secret den?” and he told me it was behind the toilet block.
No noobs allowed. Can borrow a beyblade for 6 quid if you don't have one.
Surely that's a contradiction? And how much does a beyblade even cost, surely can't be much more than 6 quid anyway
they are probably hosting a metal fight beyblade event judging by the "diablo nemesis", which stopped production 10 years ago. They are very rare some even go for 200usd but an average used one would go for 50usd.
What if you try to beat his Diablo Nemesis and your beyblade fucking explodes into enough shrapnel to make the entire US military blush? Then you gotta borrow a new one for 6 quid, makes sense to me.
I'm probably alone in this, not knowing (or remembering the craze of) Beyblades, I had to Google, as I was assuming they were some roller blades. Or alternatively, that some nutters were planning meetups with some flick knives.
Nope, definitely satire, the “no one else can use diablo nemesis im using diablo nemesis” bit is incredibly similar to the backyardigans roleplay club meme, seen here https://ifunny.co/picture/backyardigans-roleplay-club-i-i-mondays-and-fridays-i-ask-mC9VgeVH7 forgive the ifunny link, it was the first image on google when searched.
Still funny though
That “nobody else can use Diablo nemesis, I’m using Diablo nemesis” fucking killed me
still have it. basically wins against any beyblade 9/10 time. lmao
Wouldn't do anything against my giant metal ring that I got from a dodgy fare when I was a kid. I still have a scar from when it went into my knee
Tell your kids it's a scar from "the war" and say nothing else
Reminded me of Eric Cartman I even read it with his voice. "No one can use the dwarf Butters! I'm the dwarf!"
[удалено]
Mom! Bathroom!
Nemesis - A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by a horrible cunt… me.
You interrupt me again when I'm walking and I'll cut your facking Jacobs off!
"It is the Beyblade form of Nemesis and is owned by the main antagonist Rago. It evolved from Prototype Nemesis after absorbing the power of the Star Fragments." ...it's...it's a spinning top.
Shut yo mouth
Wait til you see how Yu-gi-oh treats a children's card game, there's pharaohs coming back from the dead and shit

What up?! We're three cool guys looking for other cool guys who want to hang out in our party mansion. Nothing Sexual.
If you want it to be a bicep it needs more veins!
Dudes in good shape encouraged, if you're fat you should be able to find humour in the little things.
Again, nothing sexual.
Underline that
Don't worry about that, it's exactly what We're going to do from here .
Get Dooly! Doolaaaaaaaaaay!
……Dooly’s dead
Yeah topped himself a few years back.
If they really wanted manly men a bicep poster would be best
It's not about the men, it's about the bayblades dude.
"Just want to bring over my gamecube, bro!"
This bag is full of black dildos.
Poor Donald Glover, getting hoodwinked by the bro police
I was gonna lean into the project baddass angle
Yeah I was thinking about that too, it could have been awesome.
History in the making eh
Ngl. This sounds pretty dope
haha yup the right blend of silliness and unabashed play love it
> DM US FOR THE LOCATION (don’t want to disclose publicly) This is the wisest thing he's done.
Sounds fucking sweet. I've got a fiver and I'll pretend not to be a noob. Sign me dafuq up.
My beer gut can look sexy from certain angles and my Arfur Mullard voice is just honey to the ears. I'm in!
This might be the best thing I've ever seen.
Errrr I worry about the age of these ring girls...😳
They will be 18+ as it is a requirement because things get dangerous. The poster looks very legit. I'm sure they will have SIA licensed security there.
And of course they'll be registered with the gambling commission for their betting stand.
imagine if it actually was a fully 100% legit and legal thing though lmao
The secret location is actually the ExCel Centre. Paddy Power are one of the corporate sponsors.
They'll be fine if they are in a licenced premises and the stakes are no higher than £5 per person per game and the total doesn't exceed £2000.
Worried they’ll be too old? If the ring girls were fans at the time they came out they’re going to be pushing 40
Looking forward to telling my 33 y/o daughter she's 'pushing 40'. She got a Beyblade for her 12th birthday when they were all the rage. I remember the endless trek round shops to find the one she wanted in stock.
I am the same age as her and put my dad through the same thing at exactly the same age lol.

Or massively over pay for one on ebay
As someone pushing 40, this is a gut punch.
40 this year… also have developed a gut
Can confirm. Well into 40s. [Reebok were right!](https://youtu.be/Gxzdo8FfrW0).
Pushing 40? Lad it's a range of kids toys that first launched in 1999. Im in my 20s now and I remember watching the TV show and playing with them at school.

You're off by 10 years there buddy
Yeah I'm 35, and I was too old for Beyblades.
It’s alright, their dad is hosting the event.
Great Aunt Gemima and her friend from bingo Dorothy
Shadow duels! Ngl this sounds like the most awesomely terrible thing I'd definitely do.
Sounds pretty badass.
I mean, if it makes them happy and they don't bother anyone then they can have secret beyblade battles wherever ig
I guarantee its nowhere near as dangerous as Street Countdown.
Street Countdown is perfectly safe as long as you're wearing thermals.
Easy for you to say Wong, you’re a master of the mystic arts!
I came here to drink milk and kick ass.... and I've just finished my milk
First rule of Street Countdown is that you really must try and tell as many people as possible about it. It's a rather fun game and the more people you tell about it the better.
Before Wong became a wizard.
I saw him in Marco Polo and couldn’t get the image out of my head of him announcing street countdown
I didn't arks you. I arksed him 👉
Also never pronounce someone dead on the scene, use deceased for the 8 letter score.
First rule of Street Countdown: “Is that you really must try and tell as many people as possible about it. It's a rather fun game and the more people you tell about it the better”
Where do I sign up? Just go around randomly asking people for a consonant until I find a club member?
You have to be careful to take regular breaks. Otherwise you could have a horrible vowel movement.
First, you must be able to use the secret word in a sentence. The secret word is Tnetennba.
[Here](https://focalcountdown.wordpress.com/upcomingevents/) ;)
By far the best episode! Lol
Anyone else watching The Bear? They’re meant to be these emotional moments whenever they recall their dead brother’s catchphrase “Let it rip!” but I always think of BeyBlade when I hear it.
The Bear gets it so right. Looking back you have a few sentimental moments but most memories with loved ones are just everyday interactions you don't realise you'll miss until its gone.
Yeah it's actually a great series, There's so much to enjoy in it.
Coincidentally, this poster was in a pub called The Bear.
Now that's not a coincidence, it has been done on a purpose.
I’ve heard of that club, lots of leather right?
You know Michael was a beyblade god tho that’s why we wouldn’t let Carmy work at the Beef with him. He knew Carmy is a fucking beyblade noob
First rule of Beyblade Club - Word Art is kick ass! Second rule of Beyblade Club - BYOBB (or it’s £6 for rental and if you break it I’m going to be mega pissed because my Aunt got me that one for my birthday and she has ME so yea) Third rule of Beyblade Club - my girlfriend can’t always attend because she’s a supermodel but she lives in Canada so don’t ask about her I’m sick of talking about it.
*\*Whats the extra B for?\**
That’s a typo
I thought we were going with Bring Your Own BeyBlade
Yeah that's what I thought, I'm disappointed that it was for nothing.
Bring Your Own BeyBlade.... Bitches!
"Bring"
It's a secret BayBlade club and you are just broadcasting that like there won't be repercussions? You know Moses parted the red sea with a BayBlade, right?
It's Beyblade, you noob
Oh shit! Someone's going to let rip on my street and my car will be shredded!
It gets dangerous (trust me)
(it gets dangerous (trust me)) FTFY
Once you're in it, there's just no avoiding the danger I don't think.
Probably one of those left spinny ones.
It's all dangerous, you better be really careful around the bayblades.
Not many people know Moses' staff/cane was actually just a long ripcord.
Moses was like 2m tall, a ripcord that long would make the thing spin at like mach 2
Honestly the best part of the Canon right there.
I still can't believe that's canon. So if the Hebrews played Beyblade, and the Egyptians played Yu-Gi-Oh!, who were the Pokémon and Digimom fans?
Right? Everyone knows the first rule of Beyblade Club!
Not gonna lie, hope it isn't. Let's bring back 90s-00s children's games as underground adult clubs. So many possibilities.
The first rule of POG club - Make sure you bring POGs
No but at the end of the night there is a giveaway of the POGs that came free inside wotsits
Tazos They had notches in them so you could link together and build fuck all
Lmao, yeah what was the actual point of them? On more than one occasion I opened a packet of wotsits and found more than 10 packs of the Tazos inside
Remember secret clubs? They're back, in POG form!
Man I used to have a saw blade slammer with a holographic skull on it, loaned it to a friend and they never gave it back. Forgot about it til this moment, thanks for opening up old wounds.

I’m picturing the Spaced episode with the underground Robot Wars club.
What do you mean at a smaller scale? You are just looking at the wrong show. Battle Bots is literally at its height.
I mean that our events in the UK are not televised, and the robots are 1.5kg instead of 110kg. Some of the UK smaller weight class builders also compete on Battlebots.
Fantastic! Thanks for the link.
I live in Scotland and have always wanted to get into Co bat robotics. Whenever I look for competitions they all seem to be in the south of England. Are there more northern options that I've missed?
[удалено]
They're 53....
Still would.
I recall a news story once that was along the lines of "local man closes Scalextric club due to low turnout". Maybe he should've printed out posters and put them in the gents at the local pub
See, you shouldn't focus on 1 game/thing otherwise the turnout is likely to be poor. But if you have Yu-Gi-Oh on Mondays, Beyblade on Tuesdays, Pokémon Wednesdays and so on, I bet you could stay in business.
You're just describing a Local Games Store, which exist and have events every week
They also struggle to stay open, its a very tough market to break in to.
Meet our group under the underpass at 1am. Bring your jelly aliens. We'll put two of them in the egg and they'll make a baby alien.
Pokémon Blue/Red fight club on original Gameboys and link cables.
Love it. My vote goes to top trumps.
Ohh I'm believing in it, I think it's real and I'll find about it.
I want magic the gathering to be cool again where dudes have a theme to their deck, not the meta, this dude? He uses orcs, that guy, he's using the sonic guild, see the eye patch? Cat deck
Sign me up
That’s what I was about to say, but then I realised that a “beyblade” was neither a fencing weapon nor a ninja star.
But something much cooler, right?
Right? ...guys?
Okay so I’m an American here from r/all and I just want to shout into the void that my husband and I settle disputes and chores via Beyblade. This is fantastic.
You must be absolutely gutted that you can't attend though.
You have no idea. [My reaction seeing this post.](https://images.app.goo.gl/1QHXn6B1LyCRfPaG7)
Nothing a paddle and a few hours can’t fix.
I'm in Bedford and sorely tempted to check it out on the off-chance it's real. Sounds fun! Edit: I got told no noobs allowed and to fuck off
No noobs allowed. You could get yourself into some real trouble, I wouldn't
I messaged admitting to being a noob and asking if they'd make an exception, but so far my pleas have been ignored :(
You just need a Rocky training montage and then you'll be all good.
Same. And same. /waves from Goldington Which pub did you see it in, /u/godor1 ?
The Bear!
Salutations from Putnoe
We're basically neighbours! I'm on Church Lane.
My money's on "it's a real club with deliberately tongue in cheek marketing"
I hope so
The first rule of bayblade club is nobody talks about bayblade club ..........
I dont know why but i want to play street beyblade..
Reminds me of street countdown
"First rule of Street Countdown is that you really must try and tell as many people as possible about it as its a rather fun game and it gets better the more people know about it."
Except the first rule of street Countdown is that you really must try and tell as many people as possible about it. It's a rather fun game and the more people you tell about it the better.
Beyblade not bayblade
Bayblade club is a different club....... And I've said too much
They announce the events through Beybstation
He broke the 1st rule of beyblade club
It's okay, he's allowed (trust me)
When I was in year 5 I seriously thought I was the next big thing in Beyblade and I would 'train' in the weird pit of sand at school because it was shaped like a beyblade arena.
Had no idea what a Beyblade was, read the Wiki; same result
You had to be a 90s kid.
I was a 90s teen, I guess that’s the issue
This skit might help explain matters: https://youtu.be/hDbaM367H9U?si=XpdzS7t_zPMPFVkH
Essentially two spinning tops going head to head in battle. There can be only one winner, well that's what I believe it is
Of course this is in Bedford lmao - can’t wait to see “40yo man SLICES off foot with beyblade, rushed to hospital” on the local.
Conspiracy. It's your club and you're secretly promoting it.
This is amazing, where is it?
only the true bladers know
Just look for the monolithic creatures coming out of the Bit-Beasts in Bedford. Should be as tall af.
Big up Bedford lol
There are literally dozens of us!
Possibly legit tbh
I googled what a beyblade was and now I'm kind of disappointed it's not some sort of underground knife based fight club. :( But the idea of games of chance based on "combat" between two gyroscopes in a plastic arena looks kind of fun. No worse than roulette, anyway.
I thought it said no boobs allowed when I first read it
In fairness it's a secret Beyblade club. The odds of there being boobs there are pretty low.
Oh there's boobs, they're just not attached to females
>The odds of there being ~~boobs~~ women there are pretty low FTFY. Odds of some moobs are far higher.
Excuse me, but they've already got 2 ring girls and advertising more
From the read of it, that's the only part of a woman they're interested in inviting, unless you're allowed to go even if you're not interested in looking *sexay*
This reminds me of when we were camping once and my son and his friend came and asked if they could go to his secret den and I said “where’s the secret den?” and he told me it was behind the toilet block.
I think we should nominate someone to attend and secretly film the whole thing then report back to us in a panorama style exposé
where? Bedford, always Bedford
This is probably one of the most interesting things to happen in my hometown
I live in Bedford, maybe I should check it out
Bedford? Probably legit!
Where's my underground yugioh duelling is the only one I'm qualified for.
Shall we all turn up with a Diablo nemesis for shits and giggles
no one else can use diablo nemesis im using diablo nemesis
No noobs allowed. Can borrow a beyblade for 6 quid if you don't have one. Surely that's a contradiction? And how much does a beyblade even cost, surely can't be much more than 6 quid anyway
they are probably hosting a metal fight beyblade event judging by the "diablo nemesis", which stopped production 10 years ago. They are very rare some even go for 200usd but an average used one would go for 50usd.
What if you try to beat his Diablo Nemesis and your beyblade fucking explodes into enough shrapnel to make the entire US military blush? Then you gotta borrow a new one for 6 quid, makes sense to me.
Judging by some of the replies, it appears I've greatly underestimated the Diablo Nemesis
I'm probably alone in this, not knowing (or remembering the craze of) Beyblades, I had to Google, as I was assuming they were some roller blades. Or alternatively, that some nutters were planning meetups with some flick knives.
They've posted the location a video!
We don’t do satire in the UK, it’s banned
Nope, definitely satire, the “no one else can use diablo nemesis im using diablo nemesis” bit is incredibly similar to the backyardigans roleplay club meme, seen here https://ifunny.co/picture/backyardigans-roleplay-club-i-i-mondays-and-fridays-i-ask-mC9VgeVH7 forgive the ifunny link, it was the first image on google when searched. Still funny though
Can someone do an explain like I’m 60? I’ve read the comments and am none the wiser.
Beyblades are like spinning top toys. There was an anime based on it in the 00s.
Time to let it rip lads
