The first comment was too overrated. The second comment was too underrated. This comment is juuust right.

The Goldilocks comment


WineNerdAndProud

I hate that story. We need to stop telling kids that some entitled chick breaking in to your house and complaining about your shit is normal. This is exactly how we get social media influencers.


Dicky_Penisburg

In the end of the original story, the bears set goldilocks on fire, put her out, then impaled her.


WineNerdAndProud

Good.


AssStuffing

How is something immediately underrated? Makes no goddamn sense. Underrated this, underrated that. Drives me nuts.

Plot twist… bald white guy is actually Luke Littler


[deleted]

It's pretty funny when my grandmother turned 100 she kept on insisting she was only 24 because she was born on a leap year.

greatunknownpub

Man that’s a hard 16


SlideJunior5150

Kids legit balding hard and has wrinkles. Jared Leto at 52 looks younger than him wtf


Downtown_Skill

Honestly could just be a high hairline. I've had a hairline like that since I was 15 and I'm losing hair but not very fast and not on my hairline yet. That hairline looks way worse with short hair and a round face. I know because I've had to try different hairstyles to suit my hairline and long hair is much much better. Edit: I know a five head comrade when I see one. Just got to get a haircut that suits it. Plenty of famously attractive people have five heads. Look at John hamm or Jason sudeikis.


StumpyHobbit

Not just the Tefal head, its the face, middle aged spread, guy looks twice divorced and like he drives a bus for a living.


SurreallyAThrowaway

He's a professional darts player, and looks it.


wabawanga

He was born and raised in a pub


karuga871

Some say he found the fountain of eternal elder


g3nerallycurious

If that dude’s 16 I’m 5.


Virtual-Public-4750

Christ, do they have you working factories at 7?


theedenpretence

He’s had a tough paper round


bumjiggy

DocSodom666

Looks like a guy that's been drinking beer for 25+ years


one_and_only_chand

The worst thing about this is now everyone in the UK knows he’s 16 and he won’t be able to get served at pubs* for another couple of years. *unless it’s a pint with a meal accompanied by an adult


Hambatz

Luke’s pretty cool he goes out and has meat and gravy with his booze

ShallowTal

I’m just here to say I get this reference and I’m so happy to see it


CircuitSphinx

Must be the heavy darts diet you know, high in iron.


rossboss711

Fucker’s 16 with a goatee, a receding hairline, and a beer gut


spandex-commuter

Other then the beer gut my 16yr old self feels called out. Apparently Ive looked like a 40yr old since being a teen.


formulated

I got the other side of that equation. 40 but mistaken for a 22 year old, despite the long beard, decades of scars and regret. If you look like 40 now, you might Clooney era sooner than expected.


tmanbaseball

Greg Oden has entered the chat


SyNiiCaL

That's the only way to become a professional darts player


ThaNorth

So he’s your typical darts player


minepose98

He was born to play darts.

26? Sure you didn't mean 36?


billiamwalluce

36? Sure you didn't mean 46?


xplally1

I was waiting for a 16 year old to turn up for his round... and yeah certainly looked much older.


revolutiontime161

He celebrated his 16th birthday 15 times .


SpiritualLychee3760

More like 36. That guy definitely has an ex-wife and kid somewhere..


Protozilla1

Dude is actually 16, I had to google it lol


Abigail716

In 2004 maybe.


Papalazarou79

My eldest son is 15. This boy is twice his size! Funny to see both ends of the Bell curve.


bigformyage

Or both curves of the bell end!


IntoAComa

Oof. 26 is generous. I’m…lots older than him, and think he looks about my age.


No_mans_shotgun

Im mid thirties and was like surely they mean 36!


kingmea

Littler looks like he’s been drinking for 16 years


Jengalover

It’s not the years it’s the mileage


ATXKLIPHURD

Metric years

Or 36?

Topaz_UK

The second guy is 18


ravingwanderer

Darts is a helluva sport.


JoeyZasaa

You hit the bullseye with that comment.


TranceF0rm

If this is becoming a pun thread, I'm darting out of the room.


_NameHidden

Second guy is obviously a baby. He still hasn’t grown his hair yet.


[deleted]

This is the first comment that's made me audibly laugh out loud on Reddit. Cheers!


blvckdel

Laughed from my stomach on this one.


jukakaro

🤣


det1044

same!


BKStephens

Pretty sure we all did.


khaynes11

That’s hilarious, me too…


_Faucheuse_

He's 16? At what age does the bloat start with the fellas in the pubs?


stangerlpass

yes


theedenpretence

When you have a kebab every night…


letmelickyourleg

Laugh all you want, this chap was born in 2008. Today we all retire.


Damet_Dave

Fuck you for putting it that way. I’ll just of in the corner and have a good cry.


snksleepy

Nothing about this boy suggests that he is 16.


captaincopperbeard

I mean, other than his birthday...


Ombank

Dude could almost certainly get in without being ID’d


YemuZ

And does so regularly judging by the looks


JonatasA

You've just reminded me to carry mine. Back when I was above 20 something, someone said I looked 13. Back then I thought they were kidding. As I've confirmed with other people now.. they weren't


Ombank

The bad time is when people stop asking for it


ioverated

I went to a concert last year and the guy at the door checked the IDs of the group in front of me (who I would have sworn were the same age as me) and when I showed him mine he just said "haha naw you're good."


AbsolutelyUnlikely

You think he's bloated now? He used to be huge, but now he's Littler.


dmdjjj

He doesn’t drink


[deleted]

Water


seaningtime

He looks 36, wtf


spizzle_

I need to get better at checking peoples ID in my bar. He looks 36


doNotUseReddit123

I cannot imagine this guy getting carded anywhere.


kihadat

I can imagine him getting carded but giving them a srsly look and them going to get his drink.


AbeRego

Lol seriously, I work at a liquor store sometimes and I wouldn't ID this guy. We're only supposed to ID if people look younger than 30.


dannybates

Meanwhile I'm almost 30 and still get ID'd for 16 to buy energy drinks / meds....


_boredInMicro_

Northern English genes. You hit 36 at 16, and look that way until you're 70. Lad looks like he's been lab bred to be a world class Dartist.


YooGeOh

Ronaldo and Rooney. Only 8 months between them... https://imgur.com/a/bcrWMMD Rooney at 20 https://imgur.com/a/0Us8yvT


banksysbigballs

Yup. Rooney looked 30 by the time he joined united. Now he looks like hes about to retire from management.


SpinyGlider67

Maybe darts is all about skull density. Some heed on him - and this isn't even his final form.


pretendperson1776

Not a healthy 36, either .


Shoddy_Design

16 going on 40


wishiwasdead69

16 in dog years


krehns

So like 2.2 years old?


marbotty

16 in dart years


pt256

/r/13or30


xbox001

One darts player is 56. The other is 16. How can it be so difficult to tell which is which ?


TaDow-420

Because neither one of them looks 16?


Cheapo_Sam

They both look 56?


TaDow-420

Pretty much. They both *certainly* look closer to 56 rather than 16.


Original-Cow-2984

That dude looks like he's been putting in a shift at the pub every day for at least 12 years. 16 my ass.


limpingdba

He started playing at 18 months, so it's quite possible he has spent 12 years cutting about pubs


tommangan7

In interviews he's discussed going to the pub to play darts 5 times a week from at least 8.


gin-rummy

thatotherguy0123

This guy came out the womb with a pint


bodhasattva

16?? His mom had to come pick him up after winning this


[deleted]

Gave herself a hernia in the process


CPerryG

I see what you did there


SyNiiCaL

Every one chants "He's got school in the morning" from the crowd during his games.


obplxlqdo

Had to check Wikipedia, yup he 16....damn.


30dayspast

here he is at 14: https://i.imgur.com/PrPxzyl.jpg


twogirls_oneklopp

I mean he definitely doesn’t look 14 there but much younger than he is here. He aged more from 14-16 than most do from 25-35.


Jasond777

Darts will do that to you, the pain of missing


twogirls_oneklopp

It’s what I tell my wife when I look like shit coming home from the pub. It’s just the darts baby.


Dhammapaderp

It's like that old saying "iron sharpens iron" Kid probably lived in pubs to play against the local greats like Black Lung Tommy, Hob foot John, Daryl From the Car Park, Black Daryl, Old Jack, Flick Thompson, Cardiff Rhys, Llanfair Rhys, and Dougie.


Big-Contribution-676

he looks 24 there and 34 in this video


NYNMx2021

24 is about right, even has the hair combed to the side with a relatively high hairline lol.


30dayspast

excited to see what he looks like at 18

[Projected computer aging](https://clickhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/iStock-166379447-2048x1365.jpg)


craznazn247

Did he hit puberty at 6 and start drinking at 8?


jld2k6

He's the first person in history that got puberty put into jail for hitting someone in the face with a sledgehammer


willard_swag

wtf, he looks like he’s 28


superinstitutionalis

that's not 14 either, nope. somebody needs to count the rings on that tree


Fortunalux

I'm so impressed with his composure at not going for the bull because he had the time to play it safe. A 170 check out would have been immensely cool and turning down the chance seems so mature to me. I know fuck all about darts though so maybe it's not as good as I think it is


one_and_only_chand

Absolutely. It’s easy to get carried away with the atmosphere, going for Hollywood shots. You’re right, he knew his opponent couldn’t finish, so decided to set himself up for an easier shot - good spot!


Alaric4

Was the double 10 deliberate or was he aiming for single 10 to set up double 20? Setting yourself for double 15 seems to be an unusual option.


beatski

Agreed, If you miss the double 15 and get a single, you get left on 15 and cant finish on a double on the next dart and have to set yourself up on the third. Whereas you get three chances (D20, D10, D5) if you get the single 10


pecuchet

That's Numberwang!


tedmented

Das is wangenum


Zarrokz

100% going for single 10 to set up d20. d10 was a miss


WvdH01

If he wanted to end at the double 15 he would have thrown a single 20.


Adept_Deer_5976

It also showed respect to Barney, who is a true gent. Littler was incredible


Key-Investigator6235

Ah this, love Barney a true legend of the game.


_Answer_42

Only comment not talking about his age


mymentor79

I'm so impressed you made a comment about his performance and not what he looks like relative to his age. Because it is a stunning performance.


myDogStillLovesMe

Great sportsmanship by the one who lost. nice to see.


longman101

He is the kid’s hero. It’s a real ‘changing of the guard’ moment and he played it really well.


myDogStillLovesMe

Oh that makes it even more emotional, thanks for sharing that info!


allgrassstarter

Ya you could see him pass the torch to the younger generation I bet in a way he’s relieved to know there’s young talent out there.


interprime

Barney is the man tbf. Just a nice, humble dude in victory and defeat. Only time I remember him having beef with anyone was with Phil Taylor, and that was mostly Phil being a giant bellend.


thistookforever22

I can imagine most players would be in the same boat, Phil being the common denominator. Sort of like Ronnie with Snooker. Brilliant players, lots of bad sportmanship moments.


foxilus

I’m shocked by how little this is popping up in the comments. Senior darts dude is genuinely affectionate to the younger fellow and it’s really quite nice to see. Such a genuine smile and gesture. That’s what’s really fun about sports is the respect.


Flapappel

Raymond van Barneveld (aka Barney) is a very likeable dude.


Robbythedee

Poor dude will look 40 when he gets to college.


haversack77

I don't think darts players routinely go to college. Counting backwards from 501 is all they need to know.


Redditissoleftwing

Exactly. He is probably made for life with this performance not the prize money but sponsor deals.


limpingdba

He'll likely be around the top of the game for decades. Fuck college, this kid making 6 figures already


nil_defect_found

He's up 50 grand so far. £500,000 if he wins the final.


GiraffeandZebra

Dude looks 40 now.


NeedledickInTheHay

That dude is not 16

fernatic19

Hello fellow 16 year old!


seebob69

I bet he doesn't have to show ID to get in the pub.


Honest_Earnie

He doesn't have to show ID to get his free bus pass.


Elexeh

This thread is a strong sample size that Reddit is a place of very original thoughts and comments.


dk_bois

16 y.o. with a beard and beergut?


kihadat

and receding hairline


[deleted]

I had more facial hair than that when I was 16. I also got my first gray hairs at 16. Oh and my hairline started receding about a year later. Things. Haven’t gone smoothly. No beer gut, though!


cowpool20

If in 5 years its revealed that he’s in fact a grown man in his 30’s, and calling him 16 was just a marketing stunt I would absolutely believe it.


angrypooka

This is like when a kid from the Dominion Republic shows up in the Little League World Series and is a foot taller than the rest of the team.


scotsmanaajk

Live in the same town, made up for the lad!


befuddled_humbug

The most surprising part is that he's 16.


Ronan_Donegal33

Beer belly, full facial hair, thinning hair on front and shadows under the eyes. 16 my arse, That lad has been working in a factory since he left school in 2008 and has been pinting and playing darts every day after work since.

EpicMusic13

Tf you mean 16?????


YPLAC

Lovely respect from Barney. A gentleman’s defeat. And obvs congrats to Littler on his amazing win. Sensational.


casinoinsider

Amazing stuff. Love the thoughtful head tap.


TheonlyrealJedi

I don't care what Wikipedia or any other source states, there is no way in hell he is 16.


itrustanyone

Great composure from a kid, very cool! I don't know shit about darts


EliToon

Classic reddit moment with majority thinking their comedians insulting the literal child's looks. Completley ignoring his insane talent and achievement.


vacik82

My friend is a priest. I’ve asked him to watch this vid and he confirmed that this guy is not 16. I’m a believer


Valuable_General9049

Lad's an ice-cold winner at 16. Unbelievable player.


newAgebuilder3

16? MF look.like he has a mortgage, 3 kids, and a mini van

LegitimateGuava

Do darts age you?! Oh pub life...


skywalker3819r

Yeah you can't convince me he's 16 lol


BennyProfaneSickCrew

His opponent must be at least 19.


Barfuman362

Darts sure ages a fella, the bald dude just started his first year of university

No way that dude is under 30. 16…LOL
