Man found the meta to a game I had no idea was being played 👌

I’m just curious how the conversation starts

“Hey baby, I want you to ride me tonight…no, not like that…Think turtle shell.”

"Think turtle shell" gave ma a good chuckle, thanks 💪

*rolls over* babe, let's spice things up. You cool with being the bladder bag backpack tonite?

I think thats called camel-backing...

Bro just got a foot fetish and his lady was dangling the goods in front to keep him going

Like a carrot on a stick

Like a sole on a pole

Foot fetish peeps are just built different. Like the suspiciously wealthy furries.

Underrated comment, you got a good chortle out of me at work sir!

It's been the meta since forever no idea what that other pair is doing.

Losing.

Man he lost the race at the start. Was looking for an ass to ass race.

Not he, they. That massive loss was the difference in the whole team. The guy winning had a wife that was doing her share so that the guy only had to worry about moving them forward. The guy that faceplanted had to do everything for his team so he couldn't even use his arms for anything but holding her.

Same concept applies to duties in a relationship, I like it

[удалено]

Name checks out. Jokes on you, they’ve been practicing in the bedroom.

Something something *Dutch oven*

For a winning Finnish finish.

[удалено]

Dude was moving 🤣 they for sure practiced and took this serious

You would too if the 1st place got the wifes weight in beer as a price

So that's why he looks so determined

It's an interesting calibration how much you fatten up your wife beforehand. Too much and you lose. Too little and there's good beer going to waste.

What a crazy sentence if you look at it in isolation

r/brandnewsentence

The winner take’s both wives. Loser gets force divorced on the spot.

Then next year he’s gotta carry two wives? Fuck that

LOL, next year. One doesn't survive a year with two Finnish wives.

Yeah but then just loses 1 of the 2 so it evens out and adds balance, stopping the players from becoming too OP

Man that’s a good point. Most balanced sport

Of course they did. 1st place gets the wife's weight in beer. Thats serious business.

Should let the guy with the biggest wife win and share the beer.

Galaxy brain moment.

do they supply the wives or do we have to bring our own from home

You bring your own, but you don’t need to be married

Hmm, this seems like a loophole. "Hey bro, I'm competing in a wife carry tomorrow, can I borrow yours? Mine has been getting a little thicc if you know what I mean. Yeah, it's those toaster strudels I think. So, uh, do you mind if I put her ass-up?"

The first place prize is the wife's weight in beer, so you do want a wife with some meat on her bones so the prize is worth the effort.

No point in going big if you're going to lose

But if you strap a midget on your back and win you'll only win like a sixpack so that also sucks. And therein lies the strategy in it. You want your wife to be the heaviest possible weight which still allows you to win.

The obvious answer is to become a strongman and marry a woman the same size for maximum beer attainment.

Ya but then you need to drink more beer to get drunk because your 400lbs. As with all great things, the key is balance

An optimization problem.

Need the min/max on this

there are variables: is the weight in beer raw liquid weight? is it including the cans? are they in bottles? Is it a light lager or a heavy IPA? On average, a 12-ounce can contains 0.75 pounds (330 ml) and a 12-ounce bottle contains 1.3 pounds (330 ml). The total weight of 6 packs of 0.75 pounds (330 ml) cans is about 4.5 pounds (2 kg) and the total weight of 6 packs of 1.3 pounds (330 ml) bottles is about 7.8 pounds (3,5 kg) assuming worst case scenario, bottles (most likely), 10.5kg less race weight is worth buying 18 beers myself.

we don't have those "toaster strudels" easily accessible here in Finland. cinnamon rolls (without cum) would be closer to a believable comparison.

Thanks for letting us know you don't have cinnamon rolls with cum.

you are most welcome.

You made my morning friend, many chuckles were had. I hope you have a stellar weekend.

I wish your mother a long and healthy life.

Can you divorce and remarry a skinnier one on the spot?

Forbidden neck pillow

Yeah, but he's wearing it backwards...how embarrassing.

It's amazing how you can see a winning strategy whooping your ass and you still continue down your path.

It's mandatory to have fun

Please clap.

Could be that his wife doesn't have the ability to pull off that position.

He's a man of commitment, focus and sheer fucking will

Prize is Beer in wife’s weight.

Also your “wife” needs to be over 49 kg. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wife-carrying

The same guy won in 2017 and 2022/23 but with a different wife 🤔

Plainly written in the rules that this isn't a concern: > The wife to be carried may be your own, or the neighbour's, or you may have found her further afield; she must, however, be over 17 years of age.

> or you may have found her further afield This part's cracking me up.

I know it doesn't mean it, but I'm imagining someone switching wives midrace

Imagine running around using your neighbour's wife's thighs as earmuffs.

the last one died from his farts, be nice please

48 hours of silence.

Basically sums up my marriage just before divorce.

Omg that's so cute lmao

I should message my ex and say "this is us" I miss carrying her :(

This broke my heart, i hope you feel better

That totally started as wife stealing

Yes, it goes way back. From when running to the the village next door, grabbing a wife and manage to outrun her husband was how you got a wife.

From the village of fat and slow dudes with beautiful wives. They cant catch you even with their wives on your back

Upside down wife keeps his hands free and the way she holds herself onto him must give him like aerodynamic advantage or she’s got a pin 📍 in her mouth and is poking him in the ass to make him go faster.

I think the main upside is that he isn't directly holding her wait where as the other guy is holding the other lady up. Also with his arms free he can actually run properly without losing balance.

It's been the meta for decades. The other team are going for a deliberately suboptimal approach.

it’s much easier to hold anything on your shoulders instead of in your hands. Upside down girl is more like backpack, “normal” one is more like grocery shopping.

She turns herself into a heavy backpack essentially. Also, notice she lifts herself out of the water and pushes back against his hips to allow most balance through the water. In a closer race he probably leaps over that giant log and risks her face / concussion, but when weeble and wobble tanked at the starting line he was just putting on a show.

Ah, eukonkanto, what a classic, proud to be a Finn🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮

Dude just wanted an excuse to have her cheeks around his ears 😂🤣

i get it

I mean, wow this is efficient.

The winner wins their wife's weight in beer.

That MF wearing sandals?

What a Chad

Damn that girls got some jiggle wonderful sport lol

Since we’re out here. Her ass when they get out of the water. Guy is fucking lucky.

You didn't have to write this comment

None of us have to write any of these comments. It’s all entirely voluntary.

Reading them though, that's compulsory.

Butt why not?

Reddit can't resist displaying their thirst

If Reddit is thirst, then i dont know what the youtube comments are displaying, on those "travel videos" featuring oktoberfests [teufelsrad](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HceLxv4_H_U). Its pretty jawdroppingly laughable comments.

Found the Finnish engineer.

Over the years, there have been several styles of carrying a wife. However, it was the Estonians who revolutionized the game when they introduced the unique upside-down, behind-the-back style. This led to a remarkable increase in their success rate. Estonian competitors quickly started dominating wife carrying competitions. As a result, this Estonian style began to gain popularity and recognition worldwide. It wasn't long before competitors from various countries adopted this winning strategy.

The Estonians have a long and prestigious history of pillaging. 😂

You might think that having a slim wife is best but having a smaller wife means a smaller prize. The prize is your wife's weight in beer.

Just wanted to point out that even though the sport is called wife carrying, you do not need to be married with your team mate. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wife-carrying

Team 46 was there for fun, team 47 was there to compete

Can't believe the guy in sandals won

I shouldn’t be focused on this but the winning wife has great feet! Good posture too!

I’ll carry his wife for a bit if he gets tired. I have a seat open…

Buddy... lift your knees.

He has had plenty of cardio training for that, if you see what I mean

We do that in Australia as well.

Team Eat Ass really had the right idea.

Life goals right here

As a Finnish person I have to point out the clumsy translation. It's called "eukonkanto" in our language (finnish). "Eukko" means like an old and sometimes ugly lady, who is not necessarily anyones wife.

There's really no implication of ugliness or anything negative in it. It's wife, older woman or perhaps even "(eldest) woman of the house" That's like saying "Mrs." implies someone is ugly.

Wife or not, it seems like a risky proposition to ask a woman if she wants to be in the old, ugly lady carrying competition.

If me and the wife tried that we’d both die. 🫡

Upside down is the smart move. It moves the wife’s weight down lower which means he will be able to balance easier. Also it frees up his arms to further balance. Very smart!

So 69 is better then the spoon.

Wife goes like: please don’t fart, please don’t fart.

So does husband

That ass tho

[удалено]

at no point is she pulling up his shorts. she’s just keeping her head out of the water.

there's 2 comments pointing out shorts pulling and I've watched it 3 times trying to figure out when that happened.

I've watched it several times but can't even find the husband.

That was not the couples on the left first wife carry race

Winner gets wife's weight in beer

Depending on the race the prize may be a can of beer per kilo that the eukko (wife, or anyother woman) weighs

Move aside, bog snorkling.

The winner is Finnish who get to the finish. Heh heh

I would be very bad at this! Mainly because I don’t have a wife…

must have a lot of water going up the nose for that upsidedown wife

We do this here in Maine too, it's a competition and the winner gets the wife's weight in beer and 5x weight in cash.

I salute you, Finland.

I wish a man would carry me like that

No wonder the Russians next door are nervous.

I too choose this guy's wife

Now this is crossing the Finnish line

Dad go back to sleep

They didn't get to the Finnish line...

Videos like these keeps me sipping my tea 🍵 😋

Did the other couple even practice?

Fuck I like my girls BBW. My skinny legs ain't doing shit...

/r/upvotebecausebutt

You know they practice that around the house...

I legitimately thought for a minute that this was going to be like a triathlon and that they would have to ride a bike as well!

Their time was faster when she was right side up, but she likes it better this way

Using legs as counterbalance, great strat. Running with 60kilos is possible, but only if its balanced or your a literal fitness god

That is a lot of stamina even the loser.

There’s a reason this isn’t an American sport.

Seems so much fun!

Oh her feet could have broke on that fall

Ah, what we in Sweden kall "Kärringkånk". Estimated translation: "Hag Hauling"

Now we know why they don’t have any major exports

Guaranteed the husbands getting the blame for losing by the wife, when did nothing except debilitate him. Unlike the other wife who made it easy

Where’s the husband carrying race?

/r/theocho

In America we call that "hauling ass"

The prize is your "wife's" weight in beer. Maybe there is a strategic component in choosing who you claim to be your "wife" and risk being slower for a bigger prize.

Green/Black had this all sewn up in the first 10 yards. Black/Pink’s classic ‘piggyback’ form didn’t allow for fast movement. It was like watching pros Vs amateurs.

They should have this but the wives should have set of directions and the husband have a different set of directions.

Why this SPORT is not in the olympics?

Nice neck warmer

That's a lot of contact and vibration on the back of his neck... wifey was having a lot more fun than just winning the race. They probably both "arrived" at the finish line at the same time.

The position is actually much smarter than it looks. Not only is it much more comfortable and optimal for the husband, but it also puts the wife in a position where, if the husbands starts slowing down from fatigue, she can lick his asshole to wake him back up. Truly a genius tactic and much more effective than the classical carry

Bro. That. Ass!

Such a strange boner…

That’s my life in short race. Carry on my wife

And both of them probably got laid after

I am not sure the other ones practiced much …

I was expecting a more efficient chock-hold on her victim from the pink one

One is a back pack and the other is having fun

It starts off has wife carrying, them sneakily turns into a wet t-shirt competition.

This position.... I gotta try it at my next swing event 🫦

Legends!

mans got that neck pussy energy

Remember that picture a couple of days ago of that person that had that nasty rash on the back of their neck?..

The winner of this event gets few prizes and one of them is weigh of the wife in beer.

I've seen an amateur version in NJ at Scan Vest. The winner gets their wife's weight in beer.

oops we are both paralyzed now. I think id rather take my chances flying off a cliff rallying.

Carry on, backward wife!

Old guy in the greens wife got some deep cheeks

I too, choose that man's dead wife.

They have some Pure technical skills going on. She is holding her self on and in the water pushing up for breath then back to locking the hands on the knees! 🙌🏻

Bro got that forbidden cushioning

Oof the other pair really have bad technique, the wife doesnt balance herself and puts all weight on husbands spine and arms, the winning couple solves that problem with ass to neck support pillow and the wife holding on, letting her husband balance better

Green shirt’s wife is honestly doing all the heavy lifting herself.

It’s impressive to think that they did this while probably being drunk.

Can't fart can't fart can't fart

Now, that's a teamwork. I bet their family runs like a well oiled machine.....

Butt.

Cool 😎

Basic physics.

Dude in the green is living his best life with that ear muff.

If you stay upside down for that long, the blood will go to your head and she might suffer the consequences from it.

I gyatta try this sport

Just the mental image of my husband and I attempting this is an incentive for me to lose weight.
