this was pretty funny

but only doubles? at least Link tried a quad

also the video brings up a good point. why is the camel spin called a camel spin?

Based on the description alone I would have twisted myself into a knot. Even knowing what the jumps are supposed to look like, the text description was hard to follow.

Can we figure skate at an Olympic level? Let's talk about that. ( music playing ) Good mythical morning! And happy X-X-I-I-I Winter Olympic Games. And speaking of "I-I-I," ay-yi-yi am I excited for today's episode! Ay-yi-yi, I'm also so excited. Okay, we're gonna be playing a brand-new game to see if we could tell the difference between an Olympic term and a Coachella band. And in just a bit, we'll be flipping the most iconic beauty trends of all-time on their heads. But, first, in the spirit of the Olympics, Rhett and I will be competing on the global stage - known as YouTube... - Yeah. ...as we lace up our ice skates and do our best to learn the moves it takes most Olympians decades to perfect. And, for the record, I wanted to do the biathlon, but no one would give me a rifle. I thinks that's for the best. It's time for... Here's how this is gonna work, Stevie will give us the official name of a figure skating move and then give us the step-by-step instructions in order to perform it. We'll each give it a go and then we will watch the replay in order to score each other. Right, and whoever has the highest score at the end, will win a very special, very secret... Mm-hmm. ...ice skating-related prize. Get ready to lick my skates, Link! Not before you lick mine, Rhett. Ah! Welcome to the Ice Zone. I am fire... and smoke. And I am water and ice. Together we are the song of ice and fire. Or just steam. As you can see, we are harnessed. Harness, activate. Ooh! - So magical. - Harness, deactivate. Ooh! That will aide in our jumping 'cause we really can't jump anymore. In theory. Let's do it! Stevie: Okay, guys, are you ready for your first move? Both: Yes. This is called... And here we go. That doesn't sound painful at all. "Split falling leaf." "Skate backward in a counter clockwise arc. Flex your knees and leap off the outside edge of your right skate. Extend your arms away from your sides and execute a half-turn in the air. Extend your left leg in front and land on your left toe, then immediately stride forward with your right foot." What? Remember, you gotta split the leaf before you fall. I feel prepared. This seems very intuitive to me. Well, fine, you go first. Oh, really? Okay. Backwards, counter clockwise. Talking to yourself is not part of ice skating. Okay, and then... ( gasps ) I believe that was perfect. ( laughter ) Okay, um... I think I'm gonna start out here. Oh, goodness, okay. Here we go. Do, do, do, do, whoo! ( groans ) Whoo! Left foot forward, down, and now I'm skating, now I'm skating. Now I'm skating... It seemed a lot longer than mine. - That was it. - Let's go see how we did. Let's see Rhett's version of split falling leaf. Rhett: I think it was perfect. - Link: Uh... - ( Rhett laughs ) Rhett: Hey, that's pretty... Link: Can you play it in real-time, - not slow-motion? - ( laughs ) I like your eye line. Okay, let's see Link's. ( music playing ) - Link: Whoa! - ( Rhett laughs ) ( Rhett stammering ) What? You look like somebody-- like a bad "Spiderman" audition. ( laughing ) It's like what is...? Link: Oh, my goodness. Rhett: And what is all the readjustments about? - That's all part of it. - Okay. Split falling leaf. Let's see how this is actually supposed to be done. ( music playing ) Okay... Oh, it's a split. ( laughs ) - Link: Oh, split. - Rhett: Ah, I get it. Split! Let me just point out what I do have, is I have the arms going out just like her - 'cause I listened to that. - Yeah. Rhett: And I get like a half-split, but I just didn't quite get my legs out enough. But mine's like a really lame version of essentially the same thing. Yours is just like, you need to be dodging something, like, there needs to be something thrown in there. Rhett: I just look like a sad piñata. Rhett: I'm gonna give you a two, Link. Link: I'm gonna give you a good six, that's graceful, man. Whoa, that's too generous, man. You don't have to do that. I don't wanna take that big of a lead to start. All right, I'll give you a two. Rhett: ( laughs ) No... Link: A four, all right, - I'll give you a four. - Okay. Ouch! All right, we're strapped back in, ready to go. Stevie: Okay. Your next move is... - Of course. - I've heard about this on the Olympics. Okay, here are the instructions. Never really paid attention. "Start with a forward outside three-turn." Okay, yes. "Swing the free leg forward and around with a wide scooping motion and prepare to jump. While in the air, pull your arms tightly to your chest and cross your left foot over your right. Rotate two times and land on your right foot. To complete your landing, put the free leg back and throw your arms out." Oh, gosh. Link, you go first. Here goes nothing. ( exhales ) He's making his approach. Trying to remember what she said. Whoa! Down, dog! There we go. Ooh! - Put a little extra spin on it. - Rhett: Wow. I've never seen an ice skater in the air for that long, so, I mean... points to you. - Okay, and I'm gonna... - Give it a shot, Rhett. All right. Here we go. Ha...! Short and sweet. Didn't sound like a cow. Let's see how we did. Okay... the double salchow. Let's see how I did. - Link: Wow. - Rhett: That's beautiful. I mean, look at that! Link: You look surprised at the end like, "I just did that!" Rhett: But look how beautiful it is. Link: Wow. Rhett: And landed on the right foot. Link: Landed on your heel? Wow. Rhett: And look how happy I am that I got it so right. All right, Link, let's see what you did. ( music playing ) Okay, whoa, whoa. Link: Yeah. Rhett: I counted two extra spins. Link: Yeah, a quadruple salchow for extra credit, man. Quadruple. Rhett: And then-- okay. Let's see how it's supposed to be done. You're not very fluid. Link: There she is. Eep! Rhett: Link, what I will say is that you did at least spin in the right direction and you landed on the correct foot. So for that, I'm gonna give you a 3.5. - Link: Dang, man. - Rhett: Points off for jerkiness and two extra rotations. Link: I'm impressed by your grace. And for that, I'm gonna start out with a six on this, but then I'm taking away one point because you look so surprised. You gotta look confident when you're landing it, so I'm giving you a five. Ah! - Stevie: Are you ready for your next jump? - Yes. Okay, this is called... "Double flip double loop"? Correct. "Start with a three-turn on the right foot with your right arm and shoulder in front. Extend your left leg back with your toe pointing down and place your left toe into the ice. Push off the toe and the ice to launch in the air. Once you're in the air, pull your feet and legs together and complete two rotations. Land on your right foot, bend your knee and prepare to take off for the double loop." We're gonna take off again? "Jump back into the air, pull your feet and legs together and do two more rotations. Land on your right foot and finish by punching one hand in front and the other to the side. Got that part. I'm just skipping to the end of this book. ( whooshing sounds ) Okay, here we go. ( exhales, then whispering ) Up... and down! And then, oh... Then... ( punching sounds ) Nailed it. All right. Here I go. Okay. ( whooshing sounds ) And jump! Turn and turn. And down and down. And then one big one, one big one. Turn and turn, and hands and down. And punch and punch, and left leg up. Boom, boom! Boom, boom, boom, he says. Why does it take you so long? Slow-mo, man. What is happening over there? The magic needs to be slowed down for the people to appreciate. You would move like 90 feet across the ice in the time it took you between those two jumps. All right, let's check it out. Double flip double loop. - There's a lot to this. - Whoo! Okay, let me see Rhett's. ( music playing ) Yep, still looking surprised. Rhett: There's the double, and then... - and then again. - Link: Same thing again. - Rhett: And then the punches. - Link: Ooh, the punches. Link: Whoa. Got a little "Street Fighter" there at the end. Rhett: And, you see, the first time I just held my hand up and the second time I just held one finger up. See, and then the punch. Link: The "Double Dragon" thing at the end was uncalled for. Rhett: That was a nice touch, don't you think? Check me out. ( music playing ) We go one, and I'm up, and then I'm out, and I'm down, and then blam I'm coming up again, and getting ready. Rhett: And then you're spinning the other way. Link: Yes, spinning the other way. Rhett: That is not... Link: And then corkscrew, and then down. - And then... I punched. - Well, and then the legs. - Link: All right, yep. - Rhett: Oh, lot of punching, - lot of punching. - If you'll notice, it's one punch forward, one punch to the left and then the leg back, which you did none of. Let's see the template. ( music playing ) Oh, two, and then, see that? See the thing at the end? Rhett: Okay, but he's going in the same direction on both jumps. Link: Well, that's his problem. Rhett: I'm taking a full point and a half off for going the opposite direction, but I'm giving you a full point back. Link: Okay, eight and a half plus one is nine and a half. Rhett: For the proper punching and leg pointing at the end, I'm gonna say this is your best so far, I'm gonna give you a full four. ( both laugh ) Link: A full four? I think you've got a future in figure skating, Rhett. It's 'cause-- you know? The one finger, then the two fingers, you sold me on that. You blew the ending. It's not your best performance, five. Rhett: I took liberties with-- oh, wow, generous, Link. Ouch! Stevie: Hey, guys, so, for this last round, I'm gonna give you the name of the move, but I'm not gonna give you any of the instructions, so you're gonna have to guess at what the move is. You would think that would be more difficult, except it's already been so difficult. Yeah, yeah, the instructions have not been helping me. ( laughter ) Okay, the name of this move is... Uh-oh. Where does the hump come from? Right. My humps are down here. Gotta get 'em up. ( groans ) There's only so many different things you can do with the human body. Or a camel. Ask my uncle. ( laughs ) Okay. ( claps ) ( exhaling ) Up! Oh, something just ripped. Down! No! There you are. Hey. Hey, man. - Don't look at me. - I don't... - Don't worry. - Okay, and then all the way down. - I don't think I'm gonna take any cues... - Slack, slack, slack, slack. Slack, slack, slack, slack, slack, slack, slack. Might I ask... Might I ask what the run up to that jump was? I'm not done! Okay, I'm done. Because I saw you come out twice before you ever said "up." And it seemed like you were flying. The camel wants what the camel wants. Okay, here we go. ( exhales ) ( groaning ) ( laughter ) Are you all right over there? I heard something splat. Let's go see it now. Okay, the camel spin. Camels don't need a lot of water. - Rhett: Let's check me out. - Link: Mm-hmm. Rhett: Now, see, that's how I interpreted the hump. Link: Duck and cover. Rhett: Yeah, yeah, I'm full. And then I come down gracefully. - ( laughter ) - Link: You look drunk. Rhett: And then that, see that? That's the best part is the way you throw your arms at the end. Link: That's it? Oh, my goodness. I mean, you look like a piñata. Okay, let's see if you did any better. Link: Oh, brother... Rhett: What in the world? Link: This is just me skating. And I'm about to take off. Boom, and then I did a little twist and then... Rhett: Where's the hump? Link: My suit ripped a little. And then I came down, and I'm getting them to bring-- Rhett: ( laughing ) Hold on. Link: That's when I saw you, remember? Rhett: You just look like somebody who... Link: And then hold on, wait for it. Wait for it, see, the string is a problem, it's a limiting factor because now we get-- now I'm getting "camel-ized." It's all in the exit. Rhett: How does this take-- I've never seen an ice skating move take 30 seconds. - Link: Well... - Rhett: I mean, this just doesn't make any sense - on any level. - The string held me back. Next time I'm going string-less. Okay, let's see the real version. ( music playing ) Link: Bundled up. Rhett: See? Now... I mean, I don't know where the hump is. But look-- oh, no, the hump never came. Where's the hump part? Link: What a jerk. - What is he doing? - But, look, in that moment of his spinning, look how similar we look. Like, right in the middle of his spin, watch, watch, watch. Look how it lines up with me, look at us, look at us, look at us, look at us. I mean, I can't even really tell the difference when we get going. I will say that neither you nor him look anything like a camel. I, on the other hand, got on all fours and exited frame right. Rhett: You could show this to anyone on Earth and say, "What sport is this man trying to emulate?", and no one would say ice skating. - ( Link chuckles ) - So let me just say that. But because that's so difficult to accomplish... Link: I look like a dog walking away on a long leash. Rhett: ...I'm gonna give you a five. I'm gonna give you a five just because it's so difficult to do what you did. - To do so poorly... - Thank you, thank you. Rhett: ...that I'm gonna say you get reverse points, five. Link: I mean, you didn't do anything like what that jerk did either. Basically, if I give you zero points, I win by half a point. But I can't, in good conscience, give you zero points, plus, I know you want to follow your dreams of being a figure skater. - That's true. - And I want you to fulfill that, so I'm gonna give you a four! Rhett: Hey! Link: Congratulations, Rhett, you win the super secret prize. I don't know what it is. Here you go, 'cause everyone knows that "I, Tonya" is your favorite movie that also is about figure skating, and it has Allison Janney in it, and it was in 2017. All that is true, Chase. - Margot... - Thank you for that, man. - Man, I look good. - You replaced Margot Robbie. That is always a mistake when you Photoshop you over her. Yeah, I have to agree with that. Oh, my goodness. But I do look good, especially my legs. All right, keep watching because we're about to turn the most popular beauty trends inside out in a big way.
