Today is the 15th day of protests and general political unrest in Egypt, and there’s no real end in sight considering the fact that Mubarak isn’t giving up his 30-year dictatorship easily. Weird. You’d think he’d just be like, “Cool, gotcha, peace,” and then take a staycation. Meanwhile, the U.N. has issued a severe drought warning for China. And I will tell you something else: it’s notably disheartening that in order to do one of these “bad news” round-ups as a casually tossed-off introduction to a YouTube video of people doing something silly, it is more than a little sad that one doesn’t really need to be that caught up with world events but can simply open the New York Times in a new tab and copy and paste the first headlines one sees. Oh well? On a more personal note, we’re definitely at that point of the year/winter where it is just some Princess and the Pea shit. Like, the most minor of inconveniences lead to mock suicidal ideation, but not that mock. ENOUGH! The point that I am trying to make with all of this is that it isn’t getting any easier out there, and yet, when it is all said and done, it will all be said and done, you know, so let’s get our fun in while we still can.
For example, if you want to get some plastic, aerodynamic stools that look like if devil sticks and a diablo and a boogie board had a three-way baby and that baby was something you sit on, and take those stools out to an alleyway and do “tricks” with them for a heated round of “competitive sitting,” go for it. It won’t keep you from dying, and some people might (will definitely) laugh at you for doing that, but they’ll die one day, too. So, you know. Enjoy!
What doesn’t kill us makes us SITTER. (Boo!) (#Egypt!) (Thanks for the tip, Dan.)

Can’t wait for “Sittin’ 2: Electric Squat-a-loo”
You Got Seated!
All I could think of while watching this is how warm it looks there.
Seriously. It looks like autumn there. *wistful sigh*
I hate to say it, but they are bad at sitting. They sit down and then stand up again. What’s up with that? I could totally out-sit them.
Are they practicing for Mass?
Needs more kneeling.
TWS.. oh why bother.
That’s what she couldn’t be bothered to do because she has a schedule, you know, and it’s just not really the time for that right now.
Competitive sitting is my favorite event in the Autumn Olympics! It’s right up there with tetherball and The Floor Is Lava.
I’ve been training for it all my life and didn’t even know
I know this is unconventional for a Videogum comment, but: Cool.
I know this is unconventional for a Videogum comment, but: lol u r a fag
Check and mate.
As thus, the historic feud between Funtastik and facetaco began.
(Just kidding! More like great FRIENDS, right? I am YOUR fag.)
As ≠ And.
You big dummy!
If we join forces, we’ll be unstoppable! No n00b fag can ever stand in our way!
My bum is on the Swedish Swedish
“Wicked rad sit, bro!
Get Sitted, So Sitted
This was a play on the the “get pitted” meme, btw.
Awesome derp combo broson! POP N’ LOCK
“Come on in Jack, I’m just practicing sitting.”
MAKES SO MUCH SENSE NOW.
I’m glad kids have found something unique for them to spend their time pursuing, but I, personally, am getting too old for this sit.
Too bad, Huck, because this sit just got real.
Deal with it, because sit happens
Don’t forget: never sit where you eat. That’s good advice.
it’s all fun and games till the sit hits the fan
Sofa, so good, everyone.
Can you all just shit down and shut up, please?
Awwwwww sheeeeeit.
Shit on it. -Fonzie
“Honey, what are you doing?”

For real, batteredgnome phrased something in a way that struck me as funny like two weeks ago and I thought of it while brushing my teeth last night and the results were gross
I’ve got the master trainer–I’m going to take it all this year!
We do this a bit differently in America:
If the event is “Competitive Not Collapsing Into a Hillion Jillion Pieces,” then that chair is already a champion in my book.
Thanks, FLW.. now i know what they did with all the fabric that came off of those giant spools.
just add competitive stay and shake and you have yourself a new air bud movie
Someone is smiling in heaven today.
This lady is definitely dead by now, right?
Man, every time I cam across that show I was hypnotized.
Were they hoping we wouldn’t notice the jorts/fist-bumping/shin pads/fixie-cruising/hanging about in playparks? The competitive sitting is only the icing on the WOOPS cake.
I hereby issue my Arthur Fonzarelli mea culpa.
Millions are in uproar in #Cairo. Rumor is they heard our new competitive sitting video is now available online at #videogum
We’ve been Ken’d!
Well, I mean, I like the pre-packaged rebelliousness of skateboarding, right? But I’m no good at actually, you know, doing it. And there’s nothing I love more than sitting around looking too good for everything. And I guess that cup-stacking thing is pretty rad. I just wish there was a way we could, like, put it all together.
It would be best if I could sext while doing it, but you know, I’m not picky.
Oh, and I need to be able to buy everything I need for it at Toys R Us. Thx!
Finally, us rollerbladers have someone to make fun of.

I’m gonna let Louis C.K. comment for me
Chris Hansen’s all like hey why dont you have a seat over there LOL
“Why don’t you have a…oh, you’ve already brought your own. How proactive of you.”
Is this recess at the “God’s Special Clowns” School? Cause it’s beyond retarded. Kids – start sniffing glue again. It’ll make you more interesting.
Your doing it wrong, JGL:
Goddamnit, *you’re” not “your*. I quit.
I submit your original caption was right on.
Isn’t this how you play pogs?
Watching this video kind of makes me wish for a world like Children of Men.
This kind of sitting looks EXHAUSTING. I have an ass groove to maintain!
Get a job!
So that’s what Boulder looks like…
I will only sit if I can spin.
Pfft! Competitive Sitting is for losers. SYNCHRONIZED Competitive Sitting is where it’s at.
I don’t want to participate in any sport that requires me to slam my taint on a hard plastic surface.
