“Eric The Eel” Is One Of The Funniest Things I’ve Ever Seen

Has everyone seen this? Its from the 2000 Olympics in Sydney so obviously its real old but I just saw it for the first time and everyone I’ve been showing it to says they haven’t seen it either. So if you’ve seen it, good for you. If you haven’t, you’re in for a treat.
I guess every now and then in the Olympics they offer wild card spots for people from under developed countries and allow them to compete in qualifying races to try and encourage Olympic growth. So Eric “The Eel” Moussambani was chosen to represent Equatorial Guinea. Some little piece of shit Africa country with no pools or anything. The other two idiots false start so he’s just racing on his own. Takes him like 2 solid minutes to swim the 100 meter, just thrashing in the pool with his head above the water the whole time. At one point he basically stops in the middle of the pool. Pure comedy. Best part is he sets a world record.
PS – Whoever these guys are:

Makes it infinitely funnier.

Do they call him “The Eel” because he can swim like nobody’s business, or because he has one stuffed down the front of his Speedo?
the fact that you say he sets a world record makes me think you are the dumbest writer on all of barstool
‘has everyone seen this ?’ – your shitting us right. this was funny straight after the olympics. i can only assume you are joking when you say you havent heard this.
oh by the way, you see those planes crash into that building in ny, fucking crazy shit there.
wake up dickhead its 2012 im surprised this video hasnt been taken off youtube due to being timed out.
@salo Where do I find the video of the planes crashing into the building in NY? Is it on Reddit?

Bro, this whole piece was a satire. It was done on a late night show.
Just needed some water wings.
He had never seen a real Olympic pool. Somehow this guy after some training lowered his time to 57 seconds. Talk about improvement.
KFC gets that its satire and a joke you fucking monkeys. He is joking.. he knows its not a real world record. Holy fuck is the peanut galley that uneducated on this webpage. I knew there was most virgins but now retarded virgins.
How about the Niger rower in this years Olympics? Just started rowing 3 months ago and got a wild card into the games… http://www.nbcolympics.com/news-blogs/rowing/niger-rower-finishes-to-roaring-olympic-crowd.html You need to find video of his race.

“best part is he sets a world record” is not satire at all.
