Does he remind anyone else of Jimmy Carr?

liquid klone پیش 2 روز

Watch out, your participle is dangling.

A Youtube Channel پیش 16 روز

So here is the question you need to ask: What if he was president.

Jeremiah Noe پیش 17 روز

First question: How are multiple people fitting in the same wheelchair? Second question: How does beating up some handicapped people so poor they have to share a wheelchair prove you're any good at golf?

Jeremiah Noe پیش 17 روز

On an unrelated note, this guy sounds like he might've been the inspiration for D' Arby.

BlackbirdRedwing پیش 17 روز

I think my one bragging point when it comes to games is that I can proficiently play any FPS using a shitty office laptop trackpad just because that's what I did growing up

Bargins Galore پیش 18 روز

I read that title very wrong

Victoria Fernandez پیش 20 روز

random skill caused by genetic defect I can bend my fingers on my left hand back far enough that i can touch my wrist with them.

the real mr mago907 پیش ماه

Titanic Thompson mastered ultra instinct

DerMotze پیش ماه

that joycon flex reminded me of one of my friends. He always plays pc games or emulated console games with these old arcade controllers and beats the shit out of everyone with that

Mick Kjelland پیش ماه

I can play golf both left and right and have hustled a few people using that ability

Mark Calise پیش ماه

Fun Fact: Titanic Thompson was the inspiration for the character Sky Masterson from the short story "The Idyll of Miss Sarah Brown" by Damon Runyon. Sky was also a character in the musical Guys and Dolls which was based on several Runyon short stories.

gonzojosiah90 پیش ماه

This man has completed as many hoodwinks, flim flams, and doops as Barney Stinson

EIN Games پیش ماه

Yes I hustled someone. At collage i sucked at pool, but played enough on the dorm crap table that I could do some real shit shots that looked like trick shots. All because I knew where the soft sections of the sides where and low spots on the slate/felt that would throw off others.

Ramen Man پیش ماه

Wait it’s a flex to play with a single left joycon?

Jacques-Laurent Tiktin پیش ماه

You clearly love saying Titanic Thompson

SaviorGabriel پیش ماه

Your story about playing Smash on a single Joycon makes me think of how some people in the FGC are absolutely adamant about fight sticks. There's been this long standing debate about whether or not playing on a fight stick is the ideal way to play fighting games proficiently over a pad. I've always been a firm believer that it all boils down to whatever the person is most comfortable with.

VirulentSkills پیش ماه

Me reading the title: "Well shit, I could probably beat someone who's in a wheelchair at golf too"

Apfeltee aqt پیش ماه

i read that very wrong

John Salkeld پیش ماه

He is a street magician

Shadow Anderson پیش ماه

My church does torments for smash and because we have so many people we all have to learn how to use the joy-cons but I do have a hustle given that I don’t own a switch but I’m very good at smash and have won many of our tournaments

Happy Salemander پیش ماه

Why does he look like a character from that noir game about detecting lies

Mustard Bastard پیش ماه

Beating people in wheelchairs is easy, they can't even run away!

Theodoric MacCambell پیش ماه

Titanic Thompson looks like Jimmy Carr

John Suave پیش ماه

Weird flex but ok.

Extremist Garchomp پیش ماه

do people hate the single joycon system that much? it seems fine for pretty much everyone I've ever seen playing it, including several Smash purists I know

Drew Dederer پیش ماه

They weren't kidding about "crack shot" he once won a "double or nothing" bet that he could hit eight 50 cent pieces tossed in the air with his revolver. Then there was the time he bet he could drive a golf ball 500 yards, and did (with the wind, on a frozen lake, in the dead of winter). Guy was a legend.

JE3STER666 پیش ماه

The left is the better of the 2 joy cons I'd like to see someone good with the right one

Vercalos al'Corlin پیش ماه

I totally misinterpreted that Title to mean that the golfer was beating people in wheelchairs and thinking "What a horrible person, beating the disabled."

Ms. Centurion پیش ماه

Me grandpa knew someone that could play golf with one hand Sincerely, Ms. Centurion

Eggs Benedict Cucumber Patch پیش ماه

I would love having these as podcast stories

Young Pistol پیش ماه

Left joycon gang.

Joe Ellsworth پیش ماه

Thompson once bet a bunch of people he could drive a ball 700 yards.thats impossible everyone says Thompson wait till winter took everyone to the edge of a frozen lake and hit a string straight drive.the ball was still rolling when the bets were paid off

mrshinebox پیش ماه

"He was so good he could beat people in a wheelchair". So could I if I wanted to, but why would I want to fight someone who can't walk?

Jonathan Rice پیش ماه

At first when I read the title I was confused because I thought he was beating people who were paralyzed

Performa پیش ماه

That's ridiculously impressive.

Sadriu Kage پیش ماه

*D'Arby the Elder has entered the chat*

Toldasor پیش ماه

In similar (though less impressive) fashion to Karl's joycon skills, I only played Smash Brawl on a single WiiMote and can put up a mean fight... That too annoys the crap out of That Kinda Person and it's the best.

Mc Rex پیش ماه

I can't imagine its that hard to beat someone who is confined to a wheelchair using a golf club.

VS Arachnos پیش ماه

I can beat people in a wheelchair too, but when I do it , it's 'a crime' or 'evil' .

Lmao, excellent clickbait title.

My little brother and I being formerly employed as the dedicated rotten lemon disposal crew of our parents' lemon tree, can confirm lemons don't need extra weight, there was plenty weight to clear the 250 feet down to the street.

Benjamin Mack پیش ماه

I once lost a game of pool to a friend who had broken his right arm! To be fair he had grown up in a small village in ireland where there was a pub with a pool table and not a great deal else!

DIO پیش ماه

I also can beat someone in a wheelchair

Banan ah پیش ماه

Imagining hustling for money and then beating people in wheelchairs, fucking asshole.

CrazyCadet 13 پیش ماه

why is there no movie about this man????

A_Crispy Peener پیش ماه

my friends and i play magic the gathering and i cant say we ever played for money but i've had days where i just dominate the group but give out free wins to people until they start talking crap, then the gloves are off

Shawnoo7Fra پیش ماه

I thought myself how to solve a 3x3 rubiks cube under 3 minutes. I assure you I make money everytime I go in a construction site for my job, cause they can't fathom anyone solving a rubiks cube that fast in front of their eyes. Then I double the bet with a 4x4 rubik's cube annnnnnnd win tons of cash xD

Aaron Eads پیش ماه

I'm confused. Why play the game, if you're not going to take it seriously?

Ero Kreitsman پیش ماه

But... the left joycon is just a NES controller? As in, the amount and placement of the buttons.

Watch Me Do پیش ماه

Wasn’t expecting to go onto Titanic Thompson’s Wikipedia to see a whole section dedicated to ‘killings’ 💀

Dalob پیش ماه

Dont you also have that really small Controler?

Leave A Crawler پیش ماه

love old school guitar hero. so much so i taught myself to play frets with just 2 fingers.

Keanan Siddall پیش ماه

I always hustle uni students at chess when they try acting a smartass

VeryPeeved پیش ماه

i don't care how good he is at golf, he can't keep getting away with assaulting the disabled!

Paddy Currie پیش ماه

If this video ever gets take down and needs to be re-uploaded. They should make the end part a separate video because that is the ultimate hustle

Swerving Lemon پیش ماه

Your super smash bros story reminds me of Safety Monkey, who would routinely beat people at arcade fighting games using only one hand.

K Boyle پیش ماه

I will note that betting on the Ponies is not completely random. It is one of the two most popular gambles (Poker being the other) where the gamblers bet against each other rather than the house, therefore the odds are not hedged against you by default.

ToxSyck پیش ماه

Wait a second, if you went through all the trouble to teach yourself to play Smash Bros on an inferior controller, wouldn’t that mean that technically you take it more seriously than the people who get butthurt over it?

MIND SHATTERED پیش ماه

You can open beer bottles with anything. That's your hustle.

Soer Poet پیش ماه

Thompson also might be involved in Arnold Rothstein's assassination

Resigil Changer of the Ways پیش ماه

It makes sense that he lost it on something that is totally random. When you can and have rigged the game for as long as him you'd want something that you could count on that wasn't, for the most part, rigged to gamble on. Knowing that there is no way you can alter the outcome for someone like that would be a nice reprieve from your normal reality.

*Looks at wheelchair*

Che1Angelius پیش ماه

I learned using the blue and red controller for smash ultimate, for the lols. I use cloud, corrin, lucario and marth, but I love DK Throw and the kirby suicide. I also learned using the handheld part of the system, I am used to the gamecube and the switch controller thing ( the wireless big controller, not the one you connect the blue and red controller on). I love the faces of soreness when I do that.

Bryan H Market پیش ماه

I neeeeeeeeeeedddd that shirt

Michael Boudreaux پیش ماه

I learned to play Guitar Hero on Expert with a Wiimote

CRTeaser 97 پیش ماه

Lol I use a yobo n64 controller I need nerf myself in smash64 too

TheNemesis442 پیش ماه

that doesn't sound like he was good at all......why would he pick on disabled people?? what a terrible person!!! disliked and unsubbed!!!

Holly Vitols پیش ماه

I Kind of have a Hustle, but I only use it at comic con or other conventions. I have been doing it since I was about 11, and I know a crap ton about comic books (at the time as I have lost track a bit as of late) and at the time gate keeping jackholes would always do the 'Fake nerd girl' BS to me so I would make them a bet. They ask me a tricky comic book question/trivia and if I got it right they would buy me a comic book and if I lost I would leave the story/stand. I got about 20 or so comics this way.

ItsVincent پیش ماه

Idk why but I read golfer as tennis...yeah

Rogue CHlNCHlLLA پیش ماه

I can beat people with a wheelchair... Does that count?

Charles Gore پیش ماه

Punctuation 🤦‍♂️

Okyeahbutwhythoe پیش ماه

this guy is badass

metalgamer11 پیش ماه

here i am shocked that i am usually THAT kind of person-.-

My Buddy Mike پیش ماه

Ha! I also rock the left joy-con as my main control for smash. I have a big family and it was more out of necessity then anything else but it seems to be working out well for me. My kids will team up against me and I still mop the floor with em!

james sedgwick پیش ماه

I used to do the same when TLOUR came out in PvP if always tell ppl after the lost to me 5+ times to pick my load out and I'd still beat them 🤣 God I miss TLOUR 😈

Camron Morris پیش ماه

My grandfather (on dad's side of the family) was a VERY good golfer, to the point where pro golf legend Arnold Palmer asked him to go pro after golfing togetger st a carity tournament (i have the hat from this tourney). Back then pro golfers didnt really make much until they were getting endorsement deals. My Grampas job doing drywall paid better and he had a family to feed, so he ignored Arnolds advice. Instead, my grandfather became a huge golf hustler. Read below for a long story of triumph. Our local course was having neighborhoods constructed around it, which my grandad did the drywall for. He'd ask the homeowners, home builders and other subcontractors for tips about "that impossible golf course!". The course is notoriously easy, so theyd all assume he was just shit at golf. Once he sensed that they thought him a shit golfer, he'd challenge them to a game. The first 3 holes, he'd always "feed the birds" by shanking some shots, cursing, throwing clubs, all that good stuff he'd lose 1-5 bucks on each of the first couple holes. Then for the final 15, he would clean mother fuckers out. This happened so often that people avoided going to the course, making it nearly go out of business. the owner got fed up with my gramps and threatened to ban him. Grampa scotty said "well, how about i buy it from you instead?". He had saved ALL of his golf winnings, and bought the course with them. Rip scotty, im so sorry i was only 1 year old when you passed.

Jen DuBay پیش ماه

That’s a fantastic story!

Nebulous Noah پیش ماه

Since I never owned a switch (played on my friends') I was never allowed to play with any other joycon than the left

Laura Vance پیش ماه

The original question to far away Nisha whether she has ever hustled anyone. I accidentally did once. I was a pretty good pool player back in the day, and I went into this seedy bar and put my money on the table. The guy I played had been holding the table for several games, and since I was a stranger he asked if I was any good, and I answered honestly that I was ok. Then I ran the table down to the 8 ball and took a couple of tries to sink it, but he still had several balls on the table. The place was seedy enough that I was nervous that I had pissed of the wrong guy, so I threw the next game and said that I was hot and cold, so no egos were hurt. The truth was that I grew up with a pool table and I played a lot. And at the time, I was in the US army and played pool in the barracks regularly. I never thought of myself as "good," but in hindsight, I probably was.

Jord Ault پیش ماه

Beating people in wheelchairs is a bit harsh mate

Elemaniel Pagan پیش ماه

"I'm going to assume at least a few people thought this was hyperbole" I know better than to think that Karl.

Michael Niemela پیش ماه

yall see the dude that won a smash bros turny with a steering wheel

David Curtis پیش ماه

What a fucking legend

Dude Brosefson پیش ماه

Imagine getting beaten by a caddy, using his left hand, while in a wheelchair.

Greater Grievobeast 55 پیش ماه

With casts on both of his hands and bandages on his eyes.

James Barels پیش ماه

Best $20 I ever spent.

Douglas Brown پیش ماه

I think a lot of people suffer from the 2nd part of the Dunning-Kruger effect, people of a moderately high skill level tend to think of themselves as average. So many people who would be able to hustle with a particular skill often don't realize they are above average.

Aaron Basham پیش ماه

Did they ever record how to play golf in a wheel chair? I think that would actually be great for people there to know.

The Bonus Boss پیش ماه

Honestly you talking about secret talents made me think of one I have which is I really good at rolling high numbers on dice, which is great because I play dnd

James Barels پیش ماه

If you can dodge a hotel key, you can dodge a 5-iron.

Nicholas Schindler پیش ماه

I was playing Jump Force with someone before the dark times, and they really don't like Dragon Ball. So I'd just style on their arse so hard with my level 3 oc named Mark, Piccolo and Vegeta. They got so mad that they just gave up
