Earth Worm Charming - A Bizarre English Tradition 

You can see my dad at 2 mins in with the impressive beard and pocket watch

See, this is why they invented Playstation

just look at the gear he puts on and the equipment... how does the passion for something like this get so strong? what the fuck!

i can honestly say, being english. this place is the only place i'm aware of that put on events like this.

My favorite part is from :58 to 1:05 in which that earthworm just slowly worms out of the ground up into the air.

i love the kid's accent

we do that contest here, too. but THOSE people here whom do it, do it bare-handed. they just slap the ground a certain way.

It mimics the vibrations produced by moles

Nothing strange about that; we do it all the time. Worm charming, conkers, pea-shooter championships, cheese rolling, bog snorkelling. All part of life's rich tapestry.

no shit now... this event takes place 100yards down the road from me, i won the competition in 1997, and i still think it is the most f*cked up idea ever to leave the pursed lips of the english eccentric.

Huh, got some time on your hands? Try charming worms!

i am from england and have never heard of this, so no we are not all mad!

this looks like Dune" the spice is what give us life '

0:48 " Yea yea! No no!! t t too quickly Wills, too quick! you've pulled him in half! " too funny, the English are awesome!

No one used my tried and true method... just leave an idling chainsaw on the ground and they come up like mad...

The Spice must flow! I mean, this is a bit...Frank Herbert.

wtf... that worm looked f'd up comming out...

ladies and gentlemen this is not an english tradition this is only done in weird towns and villages

just get some massive speakers and face them to the ground i'd like to try this

Good way to get bait for fishing.

this is what happens when PS3 and X-box is not around.

Of course the joke about Italians, spaghetti and worms, was only a joke. Anyway the largest measure of spaghetti are called Vermicelli, which means little worms.

trying to get out?

uhh, ya.....wow..

i think they cant count..

that worm looks fake

what a lame competition, but it was kinda interesting to me.

interesting!

ha, worm sign to the likes of which even god has never seen!!! too small to ride across a desert though.

What happened to two?

thats not really charming, but more like scaring the shit out of them

"3.......1"

Not as stupid and wasteful as commenting on a 3 1/2 minute video you don't think is worth watching, but you just watched it, and you spent the time to comment on it. Wow.
