Footy Season about to start wooohoooo!!! I understand how people can't understand it hahahahah!!! Merch 👉 linktr.ee/jimm... #AFL #funny #theguywhodecides
My old boss who was from England said to me once, AFL looks like seagulls fighting over a chip packet at the beach. While I enjoy the sport, that quote still rings true to me 15 years later 😂😂😂
100%! As an American who's gotten involved with amateur footy as an adult (so I'm often explaining it from absolute zero), this is incredible. The AFL's video is full of "whoa, look at our epic sport, it's so hardcore and cool, please like our sport" that makes it seem LESS approachable. Take this video and add some visuals, and it's a superior introduction.
Played aussie rules for 26 years now and this is....amazing. It makes footballers sound hardcore and kinda mental at the same time, and im not sure i have an issue with that.
I love how even though I know this is supposed to be funny(which it is), it somehow still describes AFL better than videos that were made specifically to accurately explain it😂
@Whiteswan Lilly The AFL's own website has a fair crack. It's like a promo video for overseas audiences, so the boring bits have been edited out. Worth a look 🏈
I totally agree with Jason. Coming from South Africa, this was a very confusing sport to understand. 7 years in and we still don't completely get it. Another banger of a video Jimmy. Keep it up.
@@MrWilliamtomkinson 2 whole years? You're a veteran.You sound young, keep at it mate Actually I played it 28 years and coached for 10 and must admit today's interpretation by Umpires confuses me no end.They need a moratorium on rule changes for about 5 years so the Umpires can all get on the same page.
I am an aussie, so thanks Jimmy for finally explaining this aussie religion in a way I can understand, sort of. You might like some tibetan monks I know who have a similar humorous ability to pull apart our accepted human concepts. One of them asked me to explain cricket, I said well there are these men dressed in white who play for 5 days, and often no one wins......
Yeah American have autistic fits of rage at association football taking 90 minutes to end in a goalless draw and they don't even realise if you wait till summer you could watch a sport that could take 5 days to end in a draw... keke
"You get a point for missing??🤔😂 But what if you miss all of the poles? "They get nothing because they missed, Jason!" 😂 A John wait no a Dave No! A mark!! 😂 This was so accurate 😂😂😂😂
Oh! So this is the video you were filming the other day on your instagram story. 🤪 Afl is actually a good sport 🏈 Even though it’s as confusing as the covid restrictions/non restrictions.😂😂😂 Thanks Jimmy!👀👍🏻🍸🍸
Perfect vid other than all the references to 'blokes' running round rather than 'players'...Also AFLW has been going for months soooo footy has been back for a while. Give the girls some love too !
You get a point in Canadian Football if you miss the Goal but the ball clears the End Zone and in Gaelic Football and Hurling you get a point if the ball goes above the goal but stays between the posts
Being counted as behind for grazing the post is what always confuses me the most. It feels like a communication error when the creator said "cleanly through the posts" for a goal because they didn't have video to decide close calls and they interpreted it to mean "no contact with the post AT ALL", and spend 5min of high def video replays and hot spot technology to decide if it was a goal or not. Come on Australia, lets fix this travesty against common sense. Through the big posts=goal, through the small post=behind, outside posts=miss.
@@comealongcomealong4480 So Royal Rumble is an annual wrestling event held by WWE. In the titular match(es) at the event (usually) 30 participants enter, one every 1-2 minutes, all trying (in storyline) to eliminate each other by throwing them over the top rope. It's everyone against everyone else and it is, in parts, like a chaotic all-in brawl, hence the reference here.
@@TheJaguar1983 Thanks for the explan. It sounds brutal ! but glad you enjoy it. Me, I like football .... but glad we fans don't have to witness the intentional brutality of past decades. Polly Farmer's health condition in his later years nearly broke my heart. And too many others. I miss Danny Frawley every season 😪
i was on exchange in Germany and explaining the rules to my class... drew the field on the chalkboard and someone said it looked like quidditch and now i can't unsee it cause it basically is quidditch, lol
Fun fact; soccer did give you points for missing. Before the rules were agreed at the FA in 1872, Sheffield FC, the oldest soccer club in the world, used to play with "Rouges" that were either side of the main goalposts, and would be counted separately to the goals (like the Gaelic points system)
I am an American and I do watch American football and I have sort of grasped other sports like Rugby and Cricket, but Aussie rules football still confuses me to no end. It it seems like the rules were made up by a bunch of drunk Aussie guys at a bar who once watched American football and though "we should have our own version of that that will be so confusing and weird to non-Australians that it will automatically become our national sport that's all our own".
Maybe it's just because I'm Australian, but I love how for this one most of the odd rules seem to make the sport better rather than worse. Normally I'm sort of with Jason, but this time every time the Guy Who Decides Stuff laughs maniacally I'm laughing along with him. 'Sir, they can go anywhere, it sounds like a free-for-all!' _'HA-ha-ha-ha!'_ _'God, it's gonna be like a Royal Rumble...'_ '-ha-ha-hrrbrbrbrbrrr-'

Haha!!!
I think of it as 2 tribes of cavemen fighting over a carcus
🤣🤣
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Mine, Mine, Mine!
As an Aussie, who loves this sport.
This is so accurate 🤣
Of course it's accurate. Who do you think decided the rules?
Jason: What's Cricket?
Jimmy: How long have you got Jason?
🤣
Easily one of the nicest things Jimmy has ever said to Jason.
This is 100% better than the actual Aussie Rules Explained Video!!!!! The AFL have to hire you man!!!!

"Sir, have you seen an oval ball bounce?"
"Hahaha!"
I'm dying! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
ah the truth ... as Indian guy living in Melbourne who struggles to keep up with the rules of footy, this made sense 😁😁🤣🤣
Mate pretty sure it doesnt make sense to half of Australian born people too!
Thank you take a speccie again.
“Yes Jason, teeth are important!” Love it !
But a functional spine is not
This explanation must be included on the Aussie citizenship video 🙌🏻🇦🇺 too good 😂
Half of Aussies born here don't get it either. Strangely it doesn't affect our lives!
Yeah, along with the instructional video on safe sex with sheep.
😂
'What do we call it? A John? A Dave...No wait wait wait a Mark!" Gold Jimmy Bravo!🤣
'I'm sure you'd make a great.....Poop inspector' 😂 I see what you did there....
😄 hahaha

Just showed this to my 80 year old, AFL-mad father who thought this was bloody brilliant 🤣 It was a real treat to share it with him. Thanks Jimmy 👏👍
Medicare doesn’t cover dental, need those mouth guards 😂😂
I love how even though I know this is supposed to be funny(which it is), it somehow still describes AFL better than videos that were made specifically to accurately explain it😂
This should be showing on every flight into Melbourne.
So then.
Who now wants to hear Jimmy explain Cricket?
That would be really useful haha
Especially in its long, shorter and very short forms.
I watched that video last night and it is hilarious.
Lol Royal rumble ......I thought it was more like an organised pub brawl. 🤪
"I don't think any other sport gives you a point for missing"
*laughs nervously in gaelic football*
laughs even more nervously in Canadian football
Jimmys videos never get old!
As someone that plays sports this is 100 percent accurate btw love u jimmy I loved watching u when I was younger
Jimmy uploads faster than the government pumps out tax
One of the most underatted channels on UA-cam. ITS MIND BLOWING!
Best explanation of the rules I have ever had. Thanks.

dont worry, i played it for 2 years, still have no idea what the rules are.

As soon as I read “coming from South Africa” my mind began reading with a thick South African accent.
@@clarksonklopp7078 Haha Ya boet
At least you understand cricket

@@kathydurow6814 idk they may object to the things Steve Smith does to cricket balls.

Like the ‘product placement’ of the UA-cam award on the mantelpiece. 😂 Congrats on the award. 👏👏👏
"You get a point for missing??🤔😂 But what if you miss all of the poles? "They get nothing because they missed, Jason!" 😂
A John wait no a Dave No! A mark!! 😂 This was so accurate 😂😂😂😂
Jason has the worst job in the world 😂😂😂
As someone who play’s Australian football this is the best thing I’ve heard all day
This is the most sense that AFL has ever made to me!
Also I can't believe you spat on your wife 🤣
Thank you good sir! Well done and thank you! You nail these so well!
Super funny….. and true 😂😂😂 can’t wait for “The guy who decides Cricket”
Oh! So this is the video you were filming the other day on your instagram story. 🤪
Afl is actually a good sport 🏈
Even though it’s as confusing as the covid restrictions/non restrictions.😂😂😂
Thanks Jimmy!👀👍🏻🍸🍸
Absolutely love it Jimmy. Shut up Jason 😂. Perfect description of Aussie rules mate . Hahahah
"My de-sexed dog's offspring is smarter than you".... don't know where you come up with this stuff; but that comment is pure gold!
ahhh far out...this is exactly how i viewed footy as a kid watchin my old man scream at the telly XD brilliant jimmy!
Lol! 🤣 perfect explanation of the game!
Bring on "Meanwhile in Australia" 😄
I got a "Jason, Jason, Jason" t-shirt for Christmas and I think I'm going to make it a tradition to watch all of these videos while wearing it.
So after 52 years I've finally had AFL explained to me 🤣
I just love how you keep coming up with weird & wacky ideas Jimmy. There's no shortage of stupid things in Australia really, is there?!
What do you mean by shortage of stupid things
Aerial ping pong 😂 accurate.
I haven’t heard that term for yers , Aerial ping pong 😂
That evil laugh at the end ,as you are explaining it to your wife.
And explaining why he has to spit over her.."Well you sat there!"
Perfect vid other than all the references to 'blokes' running round rather than 'players'...Also AFLW has been going for months soooo footy has been back for a while. Give the girls some love too !
"My desexed dog's offspring is smarter than you." lmfao!
"My desexed dog's offspring is smarter than you"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You get a point in Canadian Football if you miss the Goal but the ball clears the End Zone and in Gaelic Football and Hurling you get a point if the ball goes above the goal but stays between the posts
this is so true can’t wait for the footy to start this week 😆
Best explanation of aussie rules yet!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣
The ending had me laughing SO hard!
Wow, this is a real game? I have to look it up now. Y'all crazy! :)
It's a great game. Please look it up. There's probably a club near where you live.
that video actually has less mistakes in it than the explenation video by the AFL ^^
Aerial Pingpong - yep an oldie but a goodie.
Thanks for the upload! Right as I needed it!
Finally! At long last someone has explained the game…
Perfect explanation, but I hope you didn’t spit on your wife😂. Your penalty if you did, you have to cook dinner tonight lol
This is the only explanation I understood
You forgot to mention that Channel 7 SA must dedicate at least 15 minutes of each news program talking about it. More if it’s in the playing season.
First time I've ever really understood the game....
and I'm 75! 😂 Thanx 👍
As an Aussie rules fan, I’m so offended…nah, love it!
No inclusion of how old the rules are to rub it into the face of every other football code?
Yep, the AFL code is older than rugby!
Being counted as behind for grazing the post is what always confuses me the most.
It feels like a communication error when the creator said "cleanly through the posts" for a goal because they didn't have video to decide close calls and they interpreted it to mean "no contact with the post AT ALL", and spend 5min of high def video replays and hot spot technology to decide if it was a goal or not.
Come on Australia, lets fix this travesty against common sense.
Through the big posts=goal, through the small post=behind, outside posts=miss.
I reckon it should be 9 points if you hit the post….it’s pretty hard to do that on purpose.
Basketball+soccer+rugby, that's the definition of AFL😂😂
Yet Aussie rules is older than all of them...
and volleyball ...punching the ball
Best explanation of Aussie Rules...ever !!!
🏆
Name checking the Royal Rumble. Bonus points!
@TheJaguar1983 Please explain. I don't get the reference??

Perfectly explained 👌.
For real BIG thanks for explaining that! I had been confused all my life till this vid. Now I know! 😂
Can you do Rugby Union???
I was born here and I have never heard a more accurate description.
I love the blurry hint to the UA-cam silver plaque in the background. Well done, Jimmy.
Gee I wish you had a footy commentator from a small country town lurking in you somewhere😂
Your "the guy who decides" clips are by far my favourite
You should do a video about the Irish game, Gaelic Football. It's quite similar to AFL. You could drink a Guinness while explaining it
i was on exchange in Germany and explaining the rules to my class... drew the field on the chalkboard and someone said it looked like quidditch and now i can't unsee it cause it basically is quidditch, lol
A hand pass? I think you mean a handball 🤣
GO NORTH!!! ⬜️🟦⬜️🟦⬜️
Fun fact; soccer did give you points for missing.

Someone give this man his own show😂
Jimmy please have the guy come up with cricket also! Love your work!
Let's get jimmy in a team!
The blowing bubbles in the glass of "grog" makes me laugh aloud every time :)

Gonna use this video from now on when showing my US friends what I mean by “Australian Football”, sums it up perfectly.
I never understood afl rules, now I have a reasonable idea. They should hire you to explain things.
My son and Sydney born husband can't wait until you do a video on NRL or Rugby. The whole family loves your work, thank you 😊
Now that was special…. 🤣 Go Pies!, 🏉🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🏉🍻
😂😂😂 It’s actually quite clever how you make it sound dumb as the guy who decides things does!
Um, it is dumb?
Hahahaha !!!!
Can't wait for cricket !
Fun Fact: Canadian Football is also another sport where if you miss kicking a goal and it hits the net behind the goalposts, you get one point.
Nice one. Dare you to do Rugby Union. Been watching that for years and still learn a new rule every game!
Oh My Gawd you're SOOOOO FUNNY🤣
I Love your videos ❣️
Can you do the guy who decides cricket
This video reminds me of the Robin Williams skit on how golf was invented.
It’s what happens when there is no offside. Unstructured seagull chip fight.
jimmy takes aussie comedy to new levels... ... highs of course ;)
Pure gold Jimmy!
3:45 it’s called a HANDBALL! Not a hand pass.
That was a hoot
You forgot the cold pies and hot drinks lol
