This video just came across my desk. It’s important:

So damn funny. Everything about this video is excellent. Allow me to rattle off a few details I particularly enjoyed:

All the Stuff in This Video That I Think is Exceptionally Good:

• The headliner here, of course, is the guy’s approach to the ball. He goes full tiptoe. Full Scooby-Doo tiptoe. Full Tom-and-Jerry-sneaking-around-that-big-dog-that’s-around-sometimes tiptoe. Full twinkly-sound-effect tiptoe:

• He’s doing a good amount of exaggerated shoulder movements during the tiptoe.
• The shoulder movements add a lot.
• Looks like when you stand behind something waist-high and start moving your shoulders/slowly ducking to make it look like you’re walking down some stairs:

• He tiptoes toward the ball so slow.
• It takes him 17 seconds to get to the ball. Just checked the time. 0:17 is when he gets there.
• When you add it all together (the tiptoe, the shoulder movements, the slow speed), it looks like a walk one would do on their way to tickle someone.
• Went full tickle-walk toward the goalie.
• “I’m-gonna-getcha”-ass walk.
• Meanwhile, the goalie stays so locked in the whole time. He’s doing happy feet for the full 17 seconds he’s waiting.
• There is no one in the stands.
• The amount of time it takes for him to reach the ball allows the eye to wander a bit and clock just had depressingly empty the stands are.
• This makes it better.
• Would be less funny if there was cheering/taunting/noise of any kind.
• Tiptoeing is done best in silence/stillness.
• The shot is so bad.
• He kicks it right at the goalie.
• If you’re gonna do a very slow, dumb-as-hell tiptoe approach, you gotta put the ball in the net.
• The kicker knows it, too.
• He can’t believe he didn’t score.
• Look at his reaction after he misses:

• “No… How did I miss the tiptoe kick… I did everything right… I walked so slow… As if the prospect of tickling was on my mind…”

Chin up, my friend. The end result was better than a goal. You gave us a good tiptoe video. Thank you.
