The Office

[Seng]

For those who missed it tonight.

Parkour!

As Just Steve rightly pointed out: "Feeling like we are going to see more of this as it becomes mainstream."

...and I might add: there's really no end to the worst:

[SafeNSure]

...get ready for some mind clarifying, since funny-yet deceiving popularizations like this one are provoking press coverage and definitions like that:
"...Dwight, Andy and Michael "play" Parkour - a ninja-like game of free-running requiring players to "get from point A to point B as creatively as possible. (as termed by Michael Scott)".
:D

I personally thought this was hilarious as f*ck.

[hillexallen]

Maybe I was just in a good mood when I saw it?

i thought "The Office" video was halarious! but i gotta say the web soup video was just plain offensive... i mean seriously who's the d&%ck that came up with that web soup skit?

[Nmity]

:(
I wish that they had put it in a better light than they actually did...
I was afraid that something like this would happen~~ Parkour would be mainstreamed as a joke :/
Thought that the office video was pretty funny though. I chuckled at the end there :P

I thought the butt of the joke in The Office skit isn't parkour but people who think they understand parkour who make videos of themselves when they don't know what they're doing. While the incorrect definition presented to the mainstream does make things harder (though i thought it was funny when it said it was edgy... five years ago), I don't think there's any disrespect directed at parkour.

The Web Soup video, OTOH, was unentertainingly stupid.

i agree with you seng. and i'm wondering how they knew about the "woo do a gainer!" joke ;)

[Bay Area Parkour]

...a funny handmade parkour video in plain respect of everybody:
