    It's funny cause it's true! I've started to see hashtags on Twitter such as #Iamafencingchampion, and #thisisfunforme.

    A fencing meme! Hooray!

    Too bad they're starting to get less funny. The first 3 in the series were awesome IMHO.

    Thus it is almost always with sequels...

    Who makes these?

    With this level of coarse abrasive sledgehammer attempts at humour, it really could only ever be an Australian couldnt it? I originally only ever intended to make three. I made them to share out to friends on FB, but then they were so well received that I sold out and made more. As is so often the case the original spark of creativity provides the best results, the follow up is never as good. I have made one more which I will post tonight and then I promise I am out. This one is more a public service announcement than an attempt at satire, it is called: I am a bad fencing parent.

    Cheers, Marc.

    I think it is brilliant, and it has received a lot of laughs in my fencing circles.

    Well done!

    Well done man. If you're truly done, I hope someone else gets inspired to continue...or at least make another from time to time.

    The fencing parent one did not work out, so I have chosen this as my swansong. This probably wont mean much to a US audience, as I understand your comps are run amazingly well. But it should draw a laugh from other regions. Well it made me laught writing it, at the end of the day that is all that really counts ;-)

    I liked fencing parent. You just had to make sure that you didn't expect a "funny" video. In any eve. This was very entertaining. Way to go out with a bang.

    Can someone paste the fully qualified URL please? youtube-dl does not like those. (This is embarrassing and yes, I feel all the more lame for having to ask.)

    Watched.

    The thing about event organizer jokes is that event organizers do not find them funny and everyone else thinks they are not jokes.

    I have been to good, well managed tournaments, and others that I am sure started the day with this conversation. Only penny-per-pound ribbons instead of trophies.

    Good job with these.
