Here's my support link in case you'd like your name in the credits and to help me keep making videos regularly. Assuming things stay steady, I'll be able to keep this up until like... August maybe? Provided I don't have any Unexpected Major Life Expenses™. With your support I can keep going past that point: ko-fi.com/elliespectacular Also this video takes place immediately after the Blip.
🎶Eye of The Cups Lyrics🎶 Rising up Rising up! Did my time, took my time They stack the cups Do we take to the mat? Oh the man, with the skill to stack up So many times, my time’s too fast Had the cups, got the glory Don’t lose your grip On the cups, on the mat You must fight just to keep them up It’s the eye of the cups It’s the thrill of the stack Rising up to the challenge of our rival And the last known stacker stacks his cup in the night And he’s watching us all with the eeeeeeeeeye
Abby, I want you to memorize this: 154121998033333633636611013633333333333111133323333113333333333330333363363666341233133112312312333312321611123123633633331332163136336306363363661101633633632131332126363363133212310363363133216623121101111101111013216541105411055554541321105432133631321662312115541541363363101154363111013631236310110136336313212312115411363363661101363111123321631366110154136311363661101363131613331112242321363141 If not, that's okay.
This illustrates the importance of putting your three and a half minutes of numbers at the _end_ of your video, so that people are already hooked by the time they get to it, and they'll listen to the whole thing.
"Emily started smoking when her dad, a physical edumacation teacher introduced Guinness to her 4th grade P.E.E. class. Since that time she has set the first ever Guinness world record for sports. " LOL. At least she turned out all right, getting the first Guinness world record for sports and all.
Those hole are actually functional to the sport: plastic cups for competitive stacking have that hole to let air escape from inside the cup. Otherwise, when you put the cups one into the other, air would get trapped in them (or, the nestled cups without air in them will tend to stick together), slowing down the cups and thus making you lose time. Needless to say, these cups are not meant to be used for drinking or holding liquids or other stuff inside them anyway.
"Sport Stacking began in 1598". I've taken the liberty to show some other events that happened in 1598: 1. Boris Godunov seizes the throne of Russia, following the life of his brother-in-law, Tsar Feodor I; the Time of Happiness starts. 2. The Peace of Vervins ends the war between France and Spain. 3. Carnival - Jacopo Peri's Dafne, the earliest known modern opera, is premièred at the Palazzo Corsini, Florence 4. Spot Stacking is invented.
Nevermind professional cup stacker, what in the world constitutes being a SEMI professional cup stacker? You just stack half of them and then go to a second job?
As a Stacker for 12 years who teaches it based off this video for work and have also been watching YTPs for about that long as well, I can say this video was made for me 😂
When you said "teaches it based off this video", I was about ti say, "Not THIS video, I hope?!" 😂 Although...that would probably make for one class no one would forget, lol!
Imagine:Years in the future. You've lived a good life, medical technology has kept you alive for years longer than you ever expected, but with several organs failing its obvious your time is near. You lay in your death bed, weeping family holographically projected around your room. "Its alright" you say " I've had such a good life, even now my mind is full of wonderful memories. I love you all. " and then you drift away. You see a dim light in the black and approach, the light widens and envelopes you as you leave a tunnel and step onto a bright path winding upward. You walk for what seems like forever and at the top an angel stands before the gates of your heaven, welcoming you. You exchange a greeting, all the while the being looking to you expectantly. "So..." you look back unsure how to proceed. "You may now recite the password." It replies. "Password, what password?" You say wrinkling your brain. "Didn't you see that Dathings1 video about stacking cups all those years ago? The password at the end of it, you remember, don't you?"
Goddamnit, don't you do it........ Yeah you! In the comments reading this.... You're thinking about sitting there and taking the time to actually type the whole string of numbers in this thread. Stop it! Get some help!
Sentence-mixing a song while keeping it in tune with the original is truly impressive. Turning the Eye of the Tiger into a cup-stacking anthem is the cherry on top.
Yeah, a shot in the head... That was the most boring segment I've ever seen in any video ever. Holy cow, people give this person money to do that? If there's money involved, shouldn't there be...idk, a little bit of effort? DaThings has some fantastic videos, and parts of this were good, but holy cow that was terrible.
When Emily Fox started sports stacking, who knew that she would be the world champion? Emily's dad knew that she would be the champion Her physical education teacher knew that she would Her 3rd grade P.E. class knew that The world knew Most people knew that someday she would be the world champion
I remember these things from elementary school. Looking back, they seem totally absurd, but I'm pretty sure I loved them when our PE teachers made us do cup stacking for like 1/2 the school year.
Waiting for her to say 6 6 6 is like expecting a jumpscare and not getting it, plus almost every time she says 6 6 there's this creepy dramatic pause but... it doesn't happen. Not this time. PS: 5:28 Huh, actually,
the numbers part had me almost dead... like when you laugh so hard, its hard to breathe & you start panicking inside. thank you DaThings for almost killing me lol
I was going to skip the mid-credit scene. GRAVE MISTAKE. @6:40 I almost believed this was it. GGs for going through ALL the video an additional time just to isolate the numbers for the best joke.
Each of your YTPs get better with every watch. There's so many jokes that you miss the first time so you get suckerpunched by something you missed the second time. Thank you dathings
I'm just here thinking, "Man, Ellie must've had a trip editing all those numbers together in the latter half of this video. Then I remembered she has to do the closed captions...
4:48-onward - We all use numbers every day - to stack cups, to shatter our physical ed teachers, to drive RU-vid commenters insane for three straight minutes. Stacking cups is more than formulas or equations. It’s the left hand! It’s being Catherine years old! It’s using cup stacking to rise up to the challenge of our rivals!!! I don’t even remember what this comment was a reference to anymore.
