The Try Guys Try The Ancient Olympics

[Applause] ready the Olympics today we're doing the Olympics Greek style and not like current Greek but old Greek the Olympics are an amazing Global competition of basically everything I'm terrible at I love the Olympics because it's just like War but no one actually dies we're here at the Getty Ville which is one of the largest collections of Greek and Roman Antiquities to learn from an education specialist in archaeology all about the ancient Olympics the Olympics are called the Olympics because they're at Olympia so that's the place they started in 776 BC and they lasted over a thousand years I'm not good at sports but I do like mythology I can appreciate the studious side of the Olympics the games is probably symbolic of getting fit for war activities and it's also just because you're honoring Gods I just assume that they were kind of like our Gam today just with way more white people as long as you were a Greek you could come from anywhere in the Mediterranean and come to the games you were representing your city state your city state just as we are was very excited about your competition today I am representing the great state of namia which is where Zeus is from King of the Gods I'm representing the great city of Athens because it's the most New York and uh we assume that Athens were like the the Jews of Greece I will be representing the city state of Corinth which of course is related to Poseidon and we all know I have a great history with the ocean oh oh he's throwing up I'll be representing the city state of Deli because they just have lots of temples and they do weird in them oral I love oral how are they different from the modern Olympics no women um are allowed in the Olympics that's and there's no really good fabric so naked is good who do you think think is going to win well you um have to take your clothes off first [Music] right they oil up before the events to protect themselves from Sun officiate we need our oil yeah all right thank you sorry Katie what do I do I Splash it just rub it on yourselves oh it's so much thicker than you think W it's luxurious I don't care for it so everyone's naked they're oily they're dirty and there's no women allowed right sounds like our kind of party let's get that Fanny no Keith you got to get that Fanny you actually have artifacts here at the Getty Villa that depict some of these events yes so this would be a men's category Victor and there are no weight classes so you could go up against anybody he's not circumcised it's a sign of of being a barbarian that you circumcise your penis and sometimes athletes tie up their penises she said that you had to tie your string to your forkin I'm out I'm out too I'm no comment like that's a job for Keith then bring home the dick string sorry Rachel youel thank you Rachel it's a lovely dress yeah you look great she said tie it like a water balloon there's not a lot to it's pretty shrunken because of the pressure I I'll be honest it's like you put a leash on a snake yeah well your snakes are going to get away mine's going to stay put if you have worked to be worthy of going to Olympia I love winning I've modeled my life after Hercules Hercules killed his wife and kids what if you've done nothing indolent or base I'm not above cheating so uh I yeah I'm just going to probably cheat my way through this if you have trained properly for 10 straight months you may go forth with a good and positive attitude to Olympia how about 10 straight minutes everyone who competes in the Olympics whether it be in ancient times or this year in Brazil we're going to see the same thing happened which is the best of the best going head to-head and today you're going to see the exact opposite of that it's [Music] time got to okay yeah no one else jumped olymp oh you guys actually jum that together time to jump in some dirt woo Eugene God damn it we got it what are the events be recreating today you'll do um three events of the pentathlon the long jump The discus and wrestling but the foot race is the most important if you want your name on the Olympiad you have to win the foot race long jump is extremely weird very different from today you use weights probably you ran about 10 m you launched off on one foot went up in the air and went into a ball and landed like a gymnast so that your footprint show in the dirt and we're naked and you're naked oh God good Lord what's the team I'm representing Corinth Corinth let's do this [Music] up yeah not bad let's go for two I didn't do a great job I'm going to jump further done what's my team again for Corin OB it was an inch further an inch further yeah corn use the momentum from the weights to guide you forward 3 to 5 lbs has been shown in modern experiments to actually increase the distance you can jump oh fall you fell so if you fall over if there's a big butt mark on the ground it doesn't count disqualification but on the ground it's I'll take a minute to look at uh Eugene's ass all right that's funny all right one for the ladies [Music] op wow he ready oby T doesn't count slide it counts from where his back foot is Bo nobody likes Deli nobody likes Deli why does it smell there's a lot of FL it's this is this is It's fertilizer this is fertilizer you're jumping in sand like today right you're jumping in dirt a come on corn ddy hobble to the Finish wow pretty good you got me Bo nice bro I'll te nope didn't get that one happy God oh no not quite come on some of the names of official include words that indicate that they can hit you and then incidentally people comment about the kinds of things you might get flogged for pardon me flogged yes and cheating is Big so if you cheat you can get flogged if you false start you can get flogged right there in front of everybody my name is Ned Fulmer neia State University I yeah bro no he just ran straight through come on round two op don't f up oh there's a dog oh hello oh don't pee it smells like so he's going to want to pee here determination starts in the mind ends in the leg how is Ned the married one I don't know up you check the butt there's dirt on the butt stand up dirt on the butt what right where you would poop no come on and the winner for the long jump is the Olympian from Dela man so I don't even get a medal it's just no you just get a palm you may have a palm of Victory as you win your individual event well at Olympia you literally win an olive wreath and some ribbons tied around you but no money no nothing big no metal ribb next is we will be throwing the discus you start and pull back your arm and get a big swing and go up high and let loose and never actually twist around very much and modern discus throwers when interviewed are pretty horrified at the possibility of missing out on all that good rotation that's just like tossing a frisbee not even the olive oil makes this especially hard to hold W good toss return The discus oh this is heavy it is sort of like our disc in art often it's bigger don't overachieve [Music] Eugene how do you think he did let's discuss should we get more olive oil for his hands no Happ no right you got a little bit further like you wanted I know that if I throw it at a 45° angle it will travel the furthest cuz I went to the Science Olympiad nerd you cheater it was disqualified so we did not mark it you got to not step over that line bro I'll T oh no n n n oh no you cheat you get beat Olympia nice that was a nice toss good terrible are you not entertained C like a be no I'll be T better than Ned first try boom now that I'm like doing well I kind of want to try it okay oh God can you give me a little Pat for good luck I think you're starting to like it third attempt papow no use two hands can't use two hands the Greeks do care a lot about form so you probably want to look beautiful while you're doing it I'm the last to go which means I'm the furthest to throw everybody knows corin's got your butt right happy [Music] day that hurt my arm to do I'll tell you what that was not easy on my wrist wow same distance [Music] go oh up net yeah up net we looks like NAD got 36 ft nice myself got 41 ft you got one and half foot more than him so 372 and Eugene freaking obliterated us it's cool and the winner of The discus is Eugene and the losers come on but we're going to wrestle for Glory anyway time to wrestle sorry I be careful wrestling you have some rules you're not supposed to eye gouge you're not supposed to bite and you are supposed to use finesse um and El in your throwing so it's more like wrestling today than the other events I'm going to be wrestling Eugene and me and Zach are going to hug and roll around in some you start standing and very often you put your foreheads together in a sort of ram position and then your job is to upend your opponent and get his back shoulder or hip in the dust where you can see the the mark on his oily body Happ go go [Applause] go down Z [Applause] keep he's so slippery get his knees it's so sexual grab it's hard to grab a man when he's covered in oil this is for Glory don't hurt each other up there you go what's up what's up baby me wow a little bit tooo much that was different than ours one abyy how do we know all this well if you're an archaeologist it's infuriating because we don't know a lot there's a thousand years of information most of it's missing so we have to find weird things that give us information it's incredibly fun to come up with the scenarios for how it might have worked and wait for somebody to uncover some more evidence [Applause] [Applause] down in Ned's defense he has a very large butt it weighs him down round three each holds a point so this round we'll determine the winner if we both lose at the same time we can tie that's true fight for gree get in we were just to tie when you're cover in you don't know how [Music] to cor down [Applause] eug I just I just sh out my face good match match you guys are idiots and the winner of the wrestling event at the pentathlon is the Olympian from thean this is for my wife and all the people in the great state of namia but uh Eugene did win the pentathlon doesn't matter cuz it all comes down to the race that has poop on his face so I kind of think he's still the [Music] loser being the fastest is what counts but they're not timing them you have your left foot forward your right foot back you lean forward but you don't go down so low as we do today to to push off we know that sometimes there were ropes that were let down so that you couldn't start too soon are the Olympians ready barely y yeah ready if you win the foot race at Olympia the entire calendar is based on you so what do you get to do a photo shoot in a calendar they don't have that but they know your name Zach and I won't do so hot today that's my biggest competition that's right Eugene I'm Coming For You Baby Hercules Hercules except this Hercules is not killing his wife three 2 1 happy tank we're reconstructing the Olympic oath taken on the first day you have in your hands the Flesh of a boore that has been sacrificed oh my God on an altar to Zeus I swear on the Flesh of this wild War sacrifice to Zeus defender of [Music] Oaths that I 10 months sucession and I will do everything to dishonor the Z did you say everything I I will do nothing you can't put words in the middle of an oath Zach you're holding a sacred boore believe that for a goddamn second I think that we're in big [Music] trouble I beat Eugene Glory eternal glory well at least for four years we're just as good as you congrats to n on his victory congrats to Zach and I and technically tying with Eugene this is proof that if you work hard you can be liian do oh my [Music] God if we were celebrating a succession of Olympics that had never ended this would be the 698 Olympiad near the end of the four years so Eugene son of Jay please climb onto the podium oh my God this is huge the goddess of Victory Nik is with you Eugene of delie holding the palm you are the Victor in the many skills of the pentathlon having overcome in long jump discus and wrestling well in honor of Zeus we Crown you with a wreath of Olives I kind of wish the Olympics featured these sports today I mean who wouldn't want to watch a bunch of naked people rolling around in dirt Ned of nemia son of James climb on the podium please in this 100 and 10th Olympiad holding the Palm for the victory of the stadion because of your swiftness your name will be associated with this Olympiad for all time mentioned a calendar uh well you serve as the name of the calendar you would be on it in honor of Zeus you are now awarded the olive Reef the fact that we are naked just gave us this sense of Purity like it was just your body and your mind and your determination I noticed they have ribbons do Keith and I get ribbon no because you're losers I can't get my back do you mind sure uh you know I have a lot of resp I didn't like the Olympics coming in now I think they're pretty cool I still don't like the Olympics because I smell and feel terrible I've learned so much about manure and oil and all four of you really so sorry this is what most try guys shoots are like in honor of Greece obviously this is the grease that was on us we have saved all of our goop and have brought it here for you to judge sometimes they save the material the oil the sweat the dirt and put it in a container and the gymnasium they practice in can even sell it I'm thinking that one's pretty clean and the Goof belongs to g wow you love me you really love me thank you so much for educating us on the accuracy of our attempt at recreating the Grecian until next time what will we try next I lost everything
