i'm australian and, honestly, jim johnman just looks like a guy i'd see on the street. jim johnman looks like the kind of guy who think's he's super enlightened and better than you because he used to be an ice addict, but quit a month ago when he stabbed his friend with a steak knife. jim johnman looks like he approaches high school students at train platforms and asks them to tell their school about him being a recovering addict and how he'd be willing to come talk at the school about that for $300. jim johnman looks like he keeps inviting you over for dinner, but you keep turning him down because his idea of having you over for dinner is serving some lettuce, 5 cheese cubes, and a few slices of ham on a paper plate, and when you're done he collects the paper plates, and puts them in a draw to use later. jim johnman looks like he has a really expensive TV, but the only furniture in the living room is three cheap plastic deckchairs. the TV sits on the floor. he didn't *buy* that TV. and these are all real examples of people who look exactly like jim johnman.
jim johnman looks like every shirt he owns he bought from Facebook targeted advertising jim johnman looks like he turfs broken household stuff on to the nature strip when it isn't even hard garbage night jim johnman looks like he goes to Adelaide for fun
Jim Johnman is the guy who who has 9 commodores in his yard, 2 of which are operational. Jim Johnman is the type to walk through the drive-through bottleshop. Jim johnman is the dude out front of the RSL, just pinging so fucking hard and frightening the old people.
"If you get more runs than they get runs, you can't possibly tie. That's just sports, baby." Griffin learned how Cricket works specifically so he could pretend he didn't know how Cricket works. That's true dedication to the craft.
@@shinydino when Griffin says "switch foot" and then starts singing "Beautiful Letdown" by Switchfoot then referenced Relient K (both popular Christian rock artists in the early 2000s)
Griffin, the goal of cricket is to make the other team as sad as possible. Once every 3 bowls the opposing team is allowed to attempt a skortch, where they pretend to really be enjoying themselves to trick the umpire. Hence why the other team jumping and cheering would make you lose.
Yeah, it is. As I understand it baseball was adopted in America in response to the exclusive and snooty nature of the cricket clubs in New England (most of which are long dead) and they streamlined the rules. In cricket every member of the team has to bat, the ball is bowled instead of thrown (which means the arm has to stay straight), there are around ten ways a batsman can be out and there are about six ways the bowler can mess up a ball and need to bowl it again.
@@haldern501 is that why the NFL has sold out games played in england every year now? Lmao "silence american" is maybe the cringiest thing ive read in a while
Griffin: "I'm going switchfoot" *starts singing "Beautiful Letdown"* "Oh! It doesn't matter, I can do it Switchfoot, Relient K.." That's a deep cut there that brings me great joy
dangit i know i made this joke last time but when our boi Jim is wearing the wide rimmed ranger hat i can ONLY see Duck Newton if he was a smoker for like 50 years
I... I think Griffin solved cricket. Like, he beat the game. He perfected cricket and now nobody can cricket anymore. He truly IS Bran Dodman reincarnated!
I want Griffin to know about LBWs so he knows why the other team cheers and then he goes away, but his reactions are so good and I don't want to lose that
The first time I saw this particular set of Monster Factory videos, I mixed up the terms cricket and croquet and was BEYOND confused when this was what I got
I haven't watched the full video so are they gonna talk about the fact that at 7:11 it states that Jim Johnman is 16 YEARS OLD or what *Update:* They don't :(
LBWs are no joke Bois, once I got an LBW that just did eviscerate that whole area. Was swollen for weeks. Stay safe Jim Johnman, you and your amazing face is forever in our hearts.
In high school i went on a trip to Australia, and our first stop was the Sydney Cricket Grounds, where a professional cricket coach told us the rules of Cricket and shot cricket balls at us and i have no fucking clue how cricket works
@@kingcrimson4133 This is an excellent point. I did comment before finishing the ep, and before Johnman began to smash that fat baby. This one's on me.
And I thought the American sports games were impossible to understand. I feel like I understand less about Cricket than I did before watching the video
at the part on the character screen which was just tossing out terms like 'bases' and 'bowling' while claiming to not know anything - for real - i absolutely thought they were making up the attributes of cricket as they went. I did not /dream/ all the terms would be accurate
Not only do I love the fact that the "How i Make Bread" meme is real, thanks to user Maxwell Reitman : (Link here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PMBXJ9I3pJM.html ) but also I know the Bros didn't realize that they made the killer from the hilariously bad british horror movie "I Know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer" but with spaghetti vomit hair. Check it out if you get the chance.
I'm slightly perturbed that they spent all that time and energy on learning the rules of cricket, but didn't bother learning anything about the video game.
I absolutely cannot discern the rules or proceedings of cricket at all from this. This video makes it seem like a complete nonsense game. 0/10 Cricket tutorial.
