Preparrre Yourself For (mostly) Indoor Parkour

November 5, 2010 1:21 AM

Enter indoor parkour. Are you ready for the next step in parkour acrobatics?

Sorry for the silly post but this just made me laugh really really hard. I thought I'd share it with y'all :)

Anyone got an alternate link?

My cat does indoor parkour all the time!
Sorry I can't compare his skills to the funny link, youtube won't let me see it either. :(

Wow, that's somehow even more obnoxious then just blocking the entire video.

You should thank Sony for blocking it because of the music. They were actually doing you a service. Now, as to why they would want to claim that as part of their catalog, I have no idea.

As to the video, I will now claim that my genetic clumsiness is actually ballet.

Well, that was a waste of the six seconds I spent watching...

That's some pretty poor parkour right there - and ironically, it's almost entirely outside (thus somewhat disappointing on both counts). Sorry fantodstic.

My son was doing Parkour at 3. Heh. Must be a prodigy or something...

Well I laughed. Reminds me of the Office parkour scene.

Man, I was hoping this was going to be a real new trend and I was thrilling in anticipation of the tidal wave of hilarious indoor parkour accident videos that were surely on the way.

I was hoping it was more practical parkour from AZO.

What's up with all the kind of creepy offers to teach her spanish in her comments?

That was funny!

It's funny because she doesn't actually do parkour. Also, Marmaduke is an asshole.

And with that, parkour joins steampunk in the exclusive club of ideas I want to be somehow compressed into a tiny ball and buried miles beneath the earth, where they will never be found. Ever again. Ever.

Pretty lame.

I blame Rocky Horror. A jump to the left, a step to the right, and now this.

Okay I figured out pretty quick she wasn't actually going to do any parkour, but I'd hoped she'd at least do something funny or indicative of self-awareness. As it is she just seems to be mocking something she doesn't understand.

Worth it for the line "parkour is jumping on stuff."

Ha, she's young and needs an editor but she's pretty funny.

I was really hoping that the hot tub lid would give out.

This made me laugh

It's especially funny, of course, if you watch a real parkour video and then this one back to back...haha.
She's got other funny videos too :D

That's too bad, I was excited to see a chick parkour-ist, and then she wasn't.

^She totally was. It's just a new style that will take a while to catch on. I know it looks easy... :P
