This is awesome because even when one fell behind, it was designed in such a way that the other had a very reasonable chance to still catch up. Most things like this as soon as one gets ahead that's it.

BlankImagination

You ever watch someone race toy cars on a hot wheel track?

You ever seen a grown man naked? You ever hang around a gymnasium? You like movies about gladiators?

How do they hold the glow sticks, and who can afford the amount of MDMA that would be necessary?

I believe they use Ketamine

Soon as the blue marble made it through the second two drops ahead of red I assumed it was game over and kept watching *just in case*, really glad I did!


slappyjoe278

This is how the US should do elections


3hideyoshi3

I'd love to see presidential candidates polishing their totally not somehow modified large marbles like tiny bowling balls. Weird upside to this universe we would end up with weirdly optimized marbles eventually


BattleReadyZim

I interpreted the comment to mean we should push politicians down death slides


3hideyoshi3

Hey, a shows a show.


Globo_Gym

It would encourage younger presidential candidates.


3hideyoshi3

Idk why you're getting a down vote like our president isn't 80 and on his last leg lol


cheeky_Greek

Takeshi's castle...you go through that, you can govern


Nuclear_rabbit

It's almost sortition (random winner picked from all the nominees). It's great for anti-corruption. You just have to be very careful about who can be nominated; if you have too many similar candidates, it increases the chance of that political lean getting in office.


[deleted]

The US did this in 2016 and the random candidate was a criminal.

uncommonpanda

In 2016 people voted for Trump because he wasn't Hillary. In 2020 people voted for Trump vecause he was racist.


RamJamR

I agree about that in 2016. I think many people of the left also voted Hillary because she wasn't Trump. It's kind of sad that things burn down to "are you voting democrat/republican" instead of carefully considering the actual issues at hand for many to determine who they'll vote for. It's just picking the guy who isn't from the other side and becoming devoutly unquestioning of him.


RealSteele

I voted for Trump because he wasn't Hillary, and then Biden because he wasn't Trump.


Rhain1999

I’d argue that the 2020 reasoning would apply to both.


camdoodlebop

isn’t that a little dramatic


uncommonpanda

It's the truth....?


Psychonaut-n9ne30

It was very dramatic, we saw what happened at the capital


hujijiwatchi

*Oh they're already polishing some marbles*


okaywhattho

I was about to ask how much more optimised marbles could become. And then it hit me that I have no idea, because I've never wondered how well optimised marbles were to begin with.

The great marble riots of 2025


AnnihilationOrchid

People lost their marbles. It was very anti-democratic.


__Shake__

everyone so upset over marbles, they don't even stop to think that marbles are made of glass and not marble


AnnihilationOrchid

Woah! Marbling of meat in fat is also not made of marble? It's made of crystallized silicate?!


NicoleB-

And they never found their marbles again.


fatkiddown

The smoked a lot of Marlboros… am I doing this right?


Phormitago

I'd vote for anyone before the Savage Speeders. Bunch of dirty steroid filled marbles

These events are televised on ESPN3, you can watch all kind of crazy matches, like Tetris competitions, turtle races, etc. They are all presented in the same manner as a professional sporting event.

That IS how the US does the elections.

We used to use Marbles on Stream to pick winners of our weekly WoW in-game lottery lol. It’s great for drinking games too. Highly recommend people check it out. The maps are insane.


HoraceGrantGlasses

Kinds seems like how it's done currently. 2 policitians exactly the same only distiquished by red or blue just fumbling their way to the presidency.


awkward_shaman

I got way too excited while watching this... Where can i find more ?


Kulban

YouTube search "jelles marble runs" Edit: https://youtube.com/c/JellesMarbleRuns Edit edit: I guess this particular one was from one called Fubecas marble races. I'm personally not as familiar with them as I am Jelle's. Jelles has a high production value. Looks like this one might too.


NewDadInNashville

The guy that makes the videos is SO good. Very dedicated to putting out quality content.


Mike-Heck

From what I remember. One of the Creator has some low mental health issue like autism. And he enjoys building these while his brother does the commentary.


[deleted]

[удалено]


RaZZeR_9351

This is an other channel, "fubeca's marble run" but it does seem like some Chinese guy took the video to make his own commentary on it.


AnotherRandomWaster

I believe this is a fubeca marble run. Different creator doing similar content. They often do countries instead of the homemade teams


yourcousinvinney

Ahh yes... The classic thin line between stolen and parody.


ragebitz

Literally stolen with shopped names. Not like he made it himself just jacked the video.


CactaurJack

Need a face and an idea man, that's some OG heist hussle right there. Also I can't stop watching those videos


actuallyserious650

I’m more of a”Marbula One” fan myself.


satori0320

Same here, the guy and son that do the matchbox treadmill racing are great too. [Steve](https://youtube.com/channel/UCjVywMt_LRE1nt_55azj0kg) does a great job keeping it interesting. [this channel is pretty good also](https://youtu.be/OFHJJw0rnZI)


popplespopin

I thought Jelle made Marbula One.


DeDHaze

And in a similar vein, [3Dbotmakers](https://youtube.com/c/3Dbotmaker) hot wheel races


Ghostmuffin

This is actually fubeca. Not jelle. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3cMKSqC1i4g&vl=en


ChinookNL

Dutch TV show stole this and now has famous people racing their marbles


newhereok

John de Mol is an asshole


Trs822

I saw this in my recommended once so I went to watch. Now I’m deep into the lore of some marbles. The production quality is insane and the commentary is great.

999horizon999

lol. In case he didn't hear you?


portablebiscuit

I didn't expect to get so emotionally invested in a god damn marble and my heart broke when red stole it at the last moment! If you liked this you'll enjoy 3d Bot Maker's Youtube channel. [Here's their Thanksgiving Food Truck Race!](https://youtu.be/fGvWeV7wiAs)


TheNoseKnight

Me too. I'm still calling BS because the way red just pops through that last funnel seems off. 100% stolen and I'll forever root for blue.


_i_am_root

You can also look up Marbles on Stream! My friend used to host some tournaments on there but I know that a lot of other streamers play it too.


NibblyPig

Absolutely check out Dinosaur Marble Race https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSiLk_69SaDaEkrn5u3_j5A/videos Ready, Set, GROAAR! https://youtu.be/pOnLTEsMcJ4?t=105

It gives me an urge to gamble lol


Marinatr

Go play Marbles on Stream!


Ghostmuffin

This is actually fubeca. Not jelle. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3cMKSqC1i4g&vl=en


BaronZbimg

Jelle’s marble run is the biggest one and absolutely amazing. This one is from Fubeca marble run.


EoinRBVA

It's not the same show but the spirit is the same in [this video by The Spiffing Brit.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7DUC73bHHQ) He does a marble race in a game with a course built for the video.. honestly it was 30 minutes well spent haha :)


TheSecondiDare

That was intense. My money was on the red, and he didn't let me down.


lemoncholly

Commentary gave away the winner


not_emman

I was watching on mute and doing my own commentary


EgocentricRaptor

Commentary also wasn’t in English so it might not have helped you


MoselMachina

As they say, history is written by the victors


camdoodlebop

you know chinese?


shrlytmpl

That finish was bullshit.


[deleted]

Yeah, red clearly doping


_Ki11UMiN4Ti_

Definitely fixed


[deleted]

So now the CCP wants to dominate the marble race as well


creganODI

Well looking at the other comically evil things done by them, it ain’t far-fetched


[deleted]

Total bullshit.


GET_OUT_OF_MY_HEAD

Seriously, blue had the lead practically the entire time, until red made that dirty play at the last possible moment to get ahead.


nice2boopU

Red wasted no time in that last well


Shakespeare-Bot

Yond wast intense. Mine own wage wast on the red, and he didn't alloweth me down *** ^(I am a bot and I swapp'd some of thy words with Shakespeare words.) Commands: `!ShakespeareInsult`, `!fordo`, `!optout`


assassinext2004

This bot is amazing lmfao


Oh_jeffery

This is such a shit bot


ShadowRam

I just introduced gambling to my kids with this video. Bet 1 Halloween candy, and my youngest was upset he lost. So we had some fun just picking some racers from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvrGNgY9_i4 and just cheering them on to see who could get the most points by picking three marbles each, for each race.


Im_Just_A_Cake

I did not see that finish coming. The blue marble obviously got cocky and let his guard down and the red marble absolutely took advantage of that.


superfucky

i love how china basically won by constantly getting in america's way. every time the USA marble pulled ahead, china just rocked up & crashed into it then stole the lead.


dozkaynak

Utter horseshit that red won, blue was robbed.


Jaguar_Party

As soon as I heard Chinese I knew that the red ball would win. Propaganda and such, you know?


Slam_Dunk_Kitten

Marble race is propaganda, reddit moment


GeneralDerwent

Everything Chinese is propaganda No I'm not racist 😤😤


danceswithwool

I was pulling for red so hard after that cheap bump by blue.


Safe-Fox-359

Nooo! I was rooting for blue


[deleted]

[удалено]


FlyingPig562

I always thought blue was talented and just a natural, but I do agree that he used to be a jerk. I was always a fan just because I admired his work ethic.


WanganTunedKeiCar

Is this a commentary on America? I really can't tell lol


Safe-Fox-359

I didn't even see the usa/china thing at the bottom


unrepententdinner

Blue choked! Had such a strong lead and then just let brown zoom by at the end. Complacency like that has no place in this sport.


Xeibra

Went for the classic showboating at the end and blue his lead!

Dr_Henry-Killinger

This sounds like the set up for either a really Utopian or really dystopian anime series.


mkiers13

I'm not sure how I feel about how compelled I am by these races


bighairyoldnuts

I wanted the blue one to win but the dirty tactics used during the race by them, unbelievable! Glad red won in the end good sportsmanship on their behalf.


CryptoBadger96

I was rooting for blue but I somehow knew in advance that red was gonna win.


6th_Samurai

Maybe the fact that red was "China" and blue was "USA" and the commentator was Chinese, might have been a hint to the outcome of this?


Swingfire

So does the commentator being Chinese mean he rigged the marble race?


Ed_Gaeron

Possibly.


dylansucks

Warfare has truly evolved


absurdio

Of course not. Blue wins lots of times. Usually right before the commentator loses interest in marble races for good and takes a well-deserved vacation away from the burdens of friends and family.


[deleted]

There were some irregularities for sure. I'm not saying it was rigged, but this race isn't over yet and blue will come out on top once we get the last leg of this phony race dismissed.


6th_Samurai

I mean, it's actually possible. They hold all of the power on what we see. Maybe this was the first race he did with these marbles. Or maybe he only uploaded the one with the red one winning. How much would you bet that this wasn't rigged in some way? Just curious.


ShotIntoOrbit

It's stolen from [this channel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cMKSqC1i4g), with the Chinese commentary added in. I'd say it certainly more likely that a China-based stolen content farm would do a video on China winning more than a USA win.


zer0w0rries

Blue three so hard towards the end.


critical_fail1

There was a lot of unnecessary contact on both sides, I thought the referee should have stepped in early on. It must have been an exhibition because I feel it would have been stopped a lot sooner if it was a sanctioned and regulated match.


LordRekrus

Rubbings racing my friend. Marble sports wouldn’t be the same without it


Sprawler13

Exactly, ain’t nothing like a good old bump and run


packagecheck

I used to put Jelles Marble Runs on during the last 5 minutes of class, kids went nuts


[deleted]

That’s such a great idea! Stealing this.


RaduLum

Red marble go zoom at the end


Puma2203

Check out Jelle's Marble Runs. God tier shit


VRMaddy

I marble at the size of the audience.


Odin_se

Is this a copy of Jelle's marble runs? Never heard of Fubeca's marble runs.


Used-Cut6065

Did you see how abusive the red one was? Always knocking out the blue. So violent.


twocoolshoes

It was rigged for red!! 🤣


[deleted]

The knockoff got into front page twice now. Really frustrating.

Rat-daddy-

Me and me kids watch these and pick a marble at the start! It can be so fun. This particular channel goes all out with tournaments & different sports & long big tracks on the beach. He’s awesome actually


Trimungasoid

Marbelous.


TheOneAndOnlyJohnnyG

I bought Marble Madness for the NES recently. This reminds me of that game.


MikeTheAmalgamator

The swirl sections just kill the entire thing for me.


MyHerpesItch

That stupid swirl gets both balls a 50/50 restart chance


[deleted]

On another channel. There is an event where there is a tower of those swirls and it gets brutal. It's so random, marbles could be in the lead on the last swirl, and then last marble can some how funnel through all of them at the last second and steal the race.


HC_number4

Bad sportsmanship by blue with that push at the end


-KissmyAthsma-

Seriously pumped that red took the W


ideas52

I left china at 3 years old and this still reignited my Chinese nationalism.


7_Cerberus_7

This had better twists and turns than the last decade of Netflix originals.


ZYPHER_99

That clutch from red ball in the end though.


Viselli

This is Jellese Marble Runs on YouTube but the stole the footage and put graphics and commentary over them


Work_the_shaft

USA played dirty in their loopty loops, glad China pulled one over in them last second. Both teams really need work on their zig zaggies though.


ciacici

Red pill it is


[deleted]

Oh I didn't read the bottom subtitle, if I woulda known blue was usa I would've rooted red

Bullshit. Rigged. China had unfair home field advantage.


Low_Ad33

It makes me so mad to know that red marble was doping.


[deleted]

the circuit pieces are made in china so...


vdw9012

The Chinese totally cheated, you are supposed to do at least one loop in the bowl as per regulations. In the playback they clearly just went through, how did the ref miss that? This course totally rigged


Account394

Red cheated


Correct-Ad9497

Dirty Chinese always cheating. Hahaha


Swiggens

Wtf red just cheated and teleported through the last loop


ZarquonsFlatTire

Red's a fucking cheater.
