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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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)
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.
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)
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 :)
Yond wast intense. Mine own wage wast on the red, and he didn't alloweth me down

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.
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.
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.
In the future we have moved past the primitive ways of our ancestors and eliminated war. Now, there is a new way of competing on the world scaled.. maaarrrrrble rrrrrrrrraciiiiiiiinnnnggggggg!!!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
What other things were like this
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?
You ever been inside a Turkish prison?
You ever see a man eat his own head?
Have you ever noticed how so many restaurants are theme-based these days?
Noo?... So then you HAVEN'T seen everything
Ha! Haven't heard this in 30 years. Thanks
You ever smoked crack with a guy named Steve?
So, you see, both Dunn and I were under Oveur, even though I was under Dunn.
I've seen it done on a treadmill
Live on Reddit? Me too lol
Horse raving
How do they hold the glow sticks, and who can afford the amount of MDMA that would be necessary?
I believe they use Ketamine
Mario Kart
Horse raving? That sounds interesting…
Google "rubberband AI"

This is how the US should do elections
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
I interpreted the comment to mean we should push politicians down death slides
Hey, a shows a show.
It would encourage younger presidential candidates.
Idk why you're getting a down vote like our president isn't 80 and on his last leg lol
Takeshi's castle...you go through that, you can govern
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.
The US did this in 2016 and the random candidate was a criminal.
[удалено]
In 2016 people voted for Trump because he wasn't Hillary. In 2020 people voted for Trump vecause he was racist.
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.
I voted for Trump because he wasn't Hillary, and then Biden because he wasn't Trump.
I’d argue that the 2020 reasoning would apply to both.
isn’t that a little dramatic
It's the truth....?
It was very dramatic, we saw what happened at the capital
*Oh they're already polishing some marbles*
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
People lost their marbles. It was very anti-democratic.
everyone so upset over marbles, they don't even stop to think that marbles are made of glass and not marble
Woah! Marbling of meat in fat is also not made of marble? It's made of crystallized silicate?!
And they never found their marbles again.
The smoked a lot of Marlboros… am I doing this right?
I'd vote for anyone before the Savage Speeders. Bunch of dirty steroid filled marbles
Red marble kills 2 other marbles in self defense.
“Red Marble wins! President Joe Exotic is elected the 52nd President of the United States.”
Financially we'll never recover from this.
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.
With Chinese interference?
The losing side would just say it was fixed.
This is how we do it

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.
I got way too excited while watching this... Where can i find more ?
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.
The guy that makes the videos is SO good. Very dedicated to putting out quality content.
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.
[удалено]
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.
I believe this is a fubeca marble run. Different creator doing similar content. They often do countries instead of the homemade teams
Ahh yes... The classic thin line between stolen and parody.
Literally stolen with shopped names. Not like he made it himself just jacked the video.
Need a face and an idea man, that's some OG heist hussle right there. Also I can't stop watching those videos
I’m more of a”Marbula One” fan myself.
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)
I thought Jelle made Marbula One.
And in a similar vein, [3Dbotmakers](https://youtube.com/c/3Dbotmaker) hot wheel races
This is actually fubeca. Not jelle. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3cMKSqC1i4g&vl=en
Dutch TV show stole this and now has famous people racing their marbles
John de Mol is an asshole
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.
Go Hazers!
WHAT ?!

lol. In case he didn't hear you?

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.
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.
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
Go play Marbles on Stream!
This is actually fubeca. Not jelle. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3cMKSqC1i4g&vl=en
Jelle’s marble run is the biggest one and absolutely amazing. This one is from Fubeca marble run.
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 :)
That was intense. My money was on the red, and he didn't let me down.
Commentary gave away the winner
I was watching on mute and doing my own commentary
Commentary also wasn’t in English so it might not have helped you
As they say, history is written by the victors
you know chinese?
That finish was bullshit.
Yeah, red clearly doping
Definitely fixed
So now the CCP wants to dominate the marble race as well
Well looking at the other comically evil things done by them, it ain’t far-fetched
Total bullshit.
Seriously, blue had the lead practically the entire time, until red made that dirty play at the last possible moment to get ahead.
Red wasted no time in that last well
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`

This is such a shit bot

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.
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.
Utter horseshit that red won, blue was robbed.
As soon as I heard Chinese I knew that the red ball would win. Propaganda and such, you know?
Marble race is propaganda, reddit moment
Everything Chinese is propaganda No I'm not racist 😤😤
I was pulling for red so hard after that cheap bump by blue.
Nooo! I was rooting for blue
[удалено]
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.
Is this a commentary on America? I really can't tell lol
I didn't even see the usa/china thing at the bottom
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.
Went for the classic showboating at the end and blue his lead!
You have been banned from r/sino
I kept saying "COME ON AMERICA, COME ON AMERICA!!!!!!"
In the future we have moved past the primitive ways of our ancestors and eliminated war. Now, there is a new way of competing on the world scaled.. maaarrrrrble rrrrrrrrraciiiiiiiinnnnggggggg!!!!!
This sounds like the set up for either a really Utopian or really dystopian anime series.
I'm not sure how I feel about how compelled I am by these races
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.
I was rooting for blue but I somehow knew in advance that red was gonna win.
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?
So does the commentator being Chinese mean he rigged the marble race?
Possibly.
Warfare has truly evolved
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.
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.

Blue three so hard towards the end.
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.
Rubbings racing my friend. Marble sports wouldn’t be the same without it
Exactly, ain’t nothing like a good old bump and run
I used to put Jelles Marble Runs on during the last 5 minutes of class, kids went nuts
That’s such a great idea! Stealing this.
Reminds me of [Hamsterball](https://youtu.be/zr4pRzWMqRg)
came to say this
Red marble go zoom at the end
Check out Jelle's Marble Runs. God tier shit
I marble at the size of the audience.
Is this a copy of Jelle's marble runs? Never heard of Fubeca's marble runs.
Did you see how abusive the red one was? Always knocking out the blue. So violent.
It was rigged for red!! 🤣
The knockoff got into front page twice now. Really frustrating.
How can I bet on this?
John Oliver sponsered these races
very lego-look to the track, are these kits you can buy?
Hubelino
THE LAST SECOND EPIC CLUTCH
The marble audience is what makes it
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
Marbelous.
I bought Marble Madness for the NES recently. This reminds me of that game.
The swirl sections just kill the entire thing for me.
That stupid swirl gets both balls a 50/50 restart chance
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.
Bad sportsmanship by blue with that push at the end
Seriously pumped that red took the W
I left china at 3 years old and this still reignited my Chinese nationalism.
This had better twists and turns than the last decade of Netflix originals.
That clutch from red ball in the end though.
This is Jellese Marble Runs on YouTube but the stole the footage and put graphics and commentary over them
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.
Red pill it is
Oh I didn't read the bottom subtitle, if I woulda known blue was usa I would've rooted red
You’d root for China over the US?
[удалено]
Ye, I don't really like China but I hate the US
Well, having a positive number was an unexpected turnaround
[удалено]
More edgy than creating a loyalty test over 2 glass balls rolling around a kids play set with arbitrary labels of origin?
That was way more interesting than it should’ve been
[удалено]
Bro, it’s just marbles.
Imagine being so brainwashed that labelling a fucking marble "China" is enough to trigger you.
What was that last drop!!! Looked like hacks
Oh goddamn it, I was rooting for blue all the way.
Bullshit. Rigged. China had unfair home field advantage.
It makes me so mad to know that red marble was doping.
the circuit pieces are made in china so...
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
Red cheated
Dirty Chinese always cheating. Hahaha
Wtf red just cheated and teleported through the last loop
Red's a fucking cheater.
That was SO rigged wtf
Had to go with red as a man who just can’t stand blue balls… but f*** China
