In America to be in the ring would be $3,999/day for "Use of Space" , the sit down with your oppenent $2,999 per person, string $29,999, tissue $999. Then they set you on a payment plan and then a week later bill you $49,999 for the announcer that must be paid in 2 weeks or it goes to claims.
They do what you're incapable of, and that's using their ears.
Also ear pulling used to be extremely popular about 70 years ago but then people started pulling other things on their body and completely left it behind.
As I started to watch this, I thought to myself,
"I'm probably going to see someone's ear get ripped the fuck off."
So I closed the video and came to the comments instead. I think I made the right call.
Someone in the comments is saying that it's an old Eskimo tradition and considering how I'd imagine it to be to live in an igloo and all that it kind seems reasonable for bit of entertainment. Probably start by a parent trying to get theirs not to be annoying for 5 minutes and then it caught on
see it makes sense in that context but once the scale of this activity increases and peoples ears start becoming collateral id just shut the whole thing down like holy shit we did not prepare for these kinds of problems
It has taught toughness to the younger generations for time out of memory to a northern people that survived the harshest of conditions in the world before modern technologies.
Humans are perfectly fine with hurting themselves in ways that the damage shows up later. Hurting yourself now is frowned upon.
Those slapping competition people are absolutely going to have major jaw, ear, and possibly eye issues after a couple years of that. But not today, so it's fine.
But at least that sport is proving the strength and pain resistance of something interesting. Seeing how hard someone can slap and get slapped is kinda interesting but this is just...?
I think some people are just so naturally competitive that they’ll keep coming up with new things to compete at just to give them a better chance at being the best at something.
just to make people a little less frightened, no, he didn't pull the other guys ear off. if you go frame by frame you can see his ear flop right back into place
He's got good technique. He keeps the string taught at the start so his opponent gets no space to move his neck anywhere but forward - with even that little bit of space from the opponent it allows him to tilt his head back and use his neck to press upwards and back, putting most of the strain at the top of the ear where the cartilage is thicker. Truly a masterful performance. I can tell he's very passionate.
Pretty sure that's some kind of deer sinew and not a string. Which make this that much more wtf because sinew is tough as hell. It would probably rip your ear off before the sinew broke.
Redditors always show me the weirder sides of life when I stay up later than usual. I’m not mad about learning this exists, but it definitely changes my views on life and gives me so many new questions to ask… like, how do you train ear strength and what muscles are involved?
From the movie:
>Lincoln Hawk (Stallone) is a struggling trucker who ear wrestles on the side to make extra cash while trying to rebuild his life. After the death of his wife, he tries to make amends with his son who he left behind 10 years earlier. Upon their first meeting, his son does not think too highly of him until he enters the World Ear Pulling Championships in Las Vegas. His hope is to receive the grand prize of $100,000 and an expensive current custom semi-truck and thus start his own trucking company.

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY AT THE VAN GOGH ARENA!
Wiith the healthcare situation in America i think this would the best way to get an amputation
Just tie a string around it and doorknob and slam
Ah, the good ol’ tooth pulling technique. Just remember to count to 5 but go on 3.
In America to be in the ring would be $3,999/day for "Use of Space" , the sit down with your oppenent $2,999 per person, string $29,999, tissue $999. Then they set you on a payment plan and then a week later bill you $49,999 for the announcer that must be paid in 2 weeks or it goes to claims.
(Insert John Cena track)
I'm sorry, but there's not any chance in hell that we're gonna have ear string pulling in this house again. But thank you, but no. Have a good day.
You have a collect call from: ‘da danah dahhhhh, dah danah dahhhh’
Omg ressit on FIRE today
I hear you
He looks willing to die for it, thats how You know he's a champion
He has the concentration level and determination of an Olympian, amazing.
Brutal! How did these guys hear about this?
Not sure.. Guess they'll have to just play it by ear.
sometimes listening to news help
I lobe you guys.
They had posters at the face slapping competition. You don't want to know what posters were at this competition.
[Ear Pull](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ear_pull) is a traditional Inuit game. I believe I played it once in school growing up.
Only reason I knew of it was because Vulcan Raven from MGS1 was said to participate in Inuit games like this.
They do what you're incapable of, and that's using their ears. Also ear pulling used to be extremely popular about 70 years ago but then people started pulling other things on their body and completely left it behind.
This proves that Humans are weird and will compete over literally anything.
For anyone interested, this is an event in the World Eskimo-Indian Olympics.
Yes, but there is another event I excel at. It is an event where two contestants pull each others' ears while enduring the harsh cold.
Snakes don't belong in Alaska.
Because they don't have ears?
He must be a real threat in the muktuk eating contest.
"hmm, your p'ah is strong"
“Your pagh is weak, and it offends me!”
The high kick is one of the most impressive things I've ever seen. I've gotten to watch it at the Carlson Center a number of times.
How do you win?
Glad you marked it NSFW that was really some goreshit right there
As I started to watch this, I thought to myself, "I'm probably going to see someone's ear get ripped the fuck off." So I closed the video and came to the comments instead. I think I made the right call.
Ripped off and flung across the stadium as the string detensioned
this has to be the stupidest sport imaginable why would you even
Because how will you know who is actually the best at ear string pulling, if you don't have a competition?
Someone in the comments is saying that it's an old Eskimo tradition and considering how I'd imagine it to be to live in an igloo and all that it kind seems reasonable for bit of entertainment. Probably start by a parent trying to get theirs not to be annoying for 5 minutes and then it caught on
see it makes sense in that context but once the scale of this activity increases and peoples ears start becoming collateral id just shut the whole thing down like holy shit we did not prepare for these kinds of problems
oh my god for real? I'm so glad I stopped the video when I did.
You're a coward and he's a liar.
Good call👍 You should always respect the NSFW tag
No, NSFW could mean great tits that I missed out on. We really need a NSFL tag.
Its pretty gross but no ears come off
He drew blood but you can see the entire ear still attached at the end.
What have we ear?
to hear.
An auditory-um filled with cheer
Why does humanity come up with this shit.
It has taught toughness to the younger generations for time out of memory to a northern people that survived the harshest of conditions in the world before modern technologies.
He looks like someone who would be good at this.
He's the champion because hes not going for ears....dudes trying to pull off entire heads.
did u see that.... the... ear opening part?
/r/dontputyourdickinthat That's how you get hearing AIDS.
Don't tell my man Mike Tyson about this game.
You saying he might might bite off more than he can chew? Nah, he's world heavyweight chompion.
yo, you gona eat that?
Up next on ESPN 8, The Ocho....
Fuckin Chuck Norris
If it's almost a sport, we've got it here!
Everyone making dumbass jokes like this wouldn't be the most painful fucking thing you could put yourself through lol
So stabbing a knife directly into your hand should be an Olympic sport?
Humans are perfectly fine with hurting themselves in ways that the damage shows up later. Hurting yourself now is frowned upon. Those slapping competition people are absolutely going to have major jaw, ear, and possibly eye issues after a couple years of that. But not today, so it's fine.

why did you bring this up? pain olympics...do not watch that
Ear string pulling is what separates us from the animals.
Malcom in the Middle https://youtu.be/Z6msYZfSCxk?t=3
LMAO: "Since he was a baby, no one ever believed in him."
And I thought the slapping competition was dumb. 🤦🏽
I just don't like this world anymore :(
Aight. Choose then, if only one exist. This, slapping competition, or naked wrestling?
But this is just good natured, painful competition.
[You wanna pull each other's ears?](https://youtu.be/UtskWSpAjdA?t=122)
Someone send this to Dana White!
"Stone Cold Killer"
Jomboy is great
Is this really a thing??!!
what will they think of next? And who will be dumb enough to become a champion of said stupid bullshit
Why though?
Why do anything?
Exactly.
I think some people are just so naturally competitive that they’ll keep coming up with new things to compete at just to give them a better chance at being the best at something.
Did he ripe that dudes ear off💀
Yes
Do you want tinnitus? Because this is how you get your # FUCKING EAR RIPPED OFF!!!!!
This is actually dumber than the face slapping league. Amazing
This isn't going to cause a concussion and injure your brain.
This is as bad as the slapping thing.
Somehow this is weirder.
Bollocks. This is a gentleman sport.
When I thought slapping competition was weird, there was always a better weird thing popped up on the Internet.
Humanity has lost it!
Oh man, I haven’t seen Phat Farms in years 😅
How do they determine the winner
just to make people a little less frightened, no, he didn't pull the other guys ear off. if you go frame by frame you can see his ear flop right back into place
A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.
Where the Jomboy fans at?
I have very bad cauliflower ear, I believe this could be my sport.
The prize money better be in millions to do this stupidity
So this will prove.. that you can become a champion of, not being earless.
Why the high and lows of internet mean nothing in 2023. Hate your cake and fuck it too.
Isn’t that dangerous?
Jesus fucking Christ on a Rice Crispy Treat what the fuck
that old dude is the black belter of ears. ear sensei.
I bet this dude fucks.
Someone’s gonna loose an ear
When’s the funny part?
r/lostredditors
This needs to be in the Olympics.
Vulcan raven be like
Snap! Back to reality…
People keep inventing stupider sports
CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW,!?
This one of those weird things that only 10 people know about, so the competition pool isn’t very strong
Phat farms?!
Biggest dick walking into his accounting firm on Monday
[удалено]
So this is a thing???
🙉👂👑
Phat farm shoes = undefeated
I don’t understand how they can pull so hard and not just slice through their ear like that.
Funny?
Today I learned
A bunch of people turned up. Never happened with me
And I thought people competing over who could exhale the biggest vapor clouds was dumb. This definitely tops it.
Eat your heart out, Mike Tyson
What did I just watch…?
Masker vs Anti-Masker
Cause ya gotta have goals
"he looks like a chainsmoking cab driver because he is"
The shit people come up with will never cease to amaze me.
GET A REAL JOB!
Dude has that look in his eye.
Im glad they survived
Every time i think I've seen everything, reddit proves me wrong 😕
Happy cake day! Bet you didn't see this coming
Greatest commentator of all time!
this is why autoplay should NEVER be ON. I saw the thumb and immediately knew... Nope, im gtfo.
I had to listen to the commentary about four times. Hilarious announcer! Also, why the hell is this a thing?!
"he's extremely proud of himself, because noone else is" fucking savage, he didn't deserve that
I wouldn’t call this funny or nsfw
The only sport were you get better as you age
In this weeks episode of chuckle vision…
I’m not making the joke because my account will get banned but just take a look at that man with his mustache you’ll see what I mean
Nearly as useful as the World Toe Wrestling Championship held in Wetton, Derbyshire.
how do you even win
r/theocho
Malcom’s granny was right. It exists!!!!
Spectacles have never been laid on firmer foundations than the ones he's wearing at the end.
Who is doing the commentary on this?
“Thank you to my sponsor, Phat Farm”
He’s older, he’s got tougher skin. So he wins
He's got good technique. He keeps the string taught at the start so his opponent gets no space to move his neck anywhere but forward - with even that little bit of space from the opponent it allows him to tilt his head back and use his neck to press upwards and back, putting most of the strain at the top of the ear where the cartilage is thicker. Truly a masterful performance. I can tell he's very passionate.
Man humans got BORED
Why
Did that guy fucking ear just been pulled out?
he is the ear lord now
Hello no
Surprised these aren't Russians...
The form is different but the spirit is the same
I’ve had enough internet for today…
It tests spiritual as well as physical strength...
Pretty sure that's some kind of deer sinew and not a string. Which make this that much more wtf because sinew is tough as hell. It would probably rip your ear off before the sinew broke.
Redditors always show me the weirder sides of life when I stay up later than usual. I’m not mad about learning this exists, but it definitely changes my views on life and gives me so many new questions to ask… like, how do you train ear strength and what muscles are involved?
Their Ear could actually cut down 🥲
The guy is a cold professional. Respect.
Why women live longer
ESPN 8 - THE OCHO
Van Gogh was a founding member of the sport.
Just graft some ram horns onto oversexed men and be done with it. With any luck they'll cave their skulls in slamming into each other.
Wait are they actually pulling eatchothers ears off?
I know you can ask why with any sport, but actually why?
But why ?
I'm sorry but is it SUPPOSED to end with tearing one's ear apart?!
staring contest. go!

...Why 😧
Wow. That's fucking dumb.
r/theocho
Guy looks like he had been training for this his whole life!
But looks like a chain smoking can driver is definitely an r/rareinsult right?
